It's a huge problem on both sides of the political divide. I'm not sure which side it's a worse problem on, but there is an absolute epidemic of tribalism happening out there these days, much of it driven by special interest groups and power groups in the political scene: ("Our side ALL right, their side ALL wrong, our people ALL good, their people ALL evil").

It's incredibly stupid, utterly predictable, and it plays into the hands of demagogues. Caveman thinking, I call it.

Like you, Sawzaw, I do not belong to any organized religion...nor am I anti-religious. I can get along with either possibility, religious or not religious. I belong to no religious or anti-religious tribal mindset. That leaves me free to relate positively to a great variety of beliefs.
