And suppose we should not worry too much about nationalist 'after-life cults', who call their head priests 'Supreme Leaders' who are about to go full weapons grade nuclear? (Iran)

Its really the after-life messianic nonsense that creates the violent suicide mentality, which is very hard to defend against as history shows. Men should learn to let go of all this bullshit. But in fact why should they, its so much easier to believe in fables & magic wand solutions especially when its natural human tendency to fear death for so long. This has always been the hold of religion from the start which does some good, yet only the religions of Abraham after-life cults, that have so divided this world.
