Riginslinger says:

Isn't that (segregation and division) what religion is all about?

It may be a bit off the topic, but I can't let this go by. Riginslinger, I think you're letting your bigotry show. There are plenty of religious people who are fundamentally opposed to segregation and division - so what you say is a cheap shot.

Racists have long used religion as a rationalization of their racism. For that matter, all sorts of oppressors have twisted religion to rationalize their oppression. But at its core, religious belief is altruistic, and is at its essence opposed to oppression. If the BPN uses religion, it is a perversion of religion.
