The principal danger to man is the desire for dominion over others. I believe that it is impossible to deliberately and intentionally kill, rape, torture, or enslave another human being as long as you acknowledge that the other is a human being. (Leaving an out for insanity and emotional overload.) Religion is frequently an excuse to divide the universe into "us" (human beings) vs. "them" (not worthy of the dignity and respect we accord human beings).

But most of the worst offenses of the 20th century were NOT motivated by religion, e.g., the starvation of millions in Russia by Stalin, the great purges by Mao, World War I, World War II, most of the millions of people killed in this century that is ending as we speak were motivated by the desire for power, for empire and dominion, naked and raw.
