"Human beings develop collective identities - ethnic, nationalist, religious
or political - and find in them a sense of belonging, of personal identity and
solidarity; the problem is how, at points of competition and threat, those
identities flare up into horrible violence. Pinning all the blame on religion
blindly ignores the evidence; the Rwandan tragedy was about ethnicity, the
Holocaust about a racist political ideology. Crucially it fails to grasp the modern
phenomenon of fundamentalism and how religious identity is being mobilised in
an attempt to carve out positions of power within a rapidly globalising
world; this kind of violent religion is a political product of rapid social and
economic change."

The above quote comes from the review at the link above. Dawkins is part of
the initiative to remove all social identities including religion, nationhood
and ethnicity. When you watch advertisements on the tube and notice how the
faces are increasingly mixed race and arguments for uncontrolled immigration are
mounted that urge dropping all borders everywhere, you are seeing the same
ideology at work, that humankind should not coalesce into discrete identities
that create social boundaries and consequent social conflict.

It's remarkably akin to an ancient tactic of warfare described in Genesis
11:1-10.

Violent religion is NOT an inevitable product of rapid social and economic
change. It is borne of a deliberate effort to remove the basis for the
differentiation that the secular humanists/globalists say causes conflict.
To provide an example, George Soros (billionaire globalist/capitalist) has
urged Russia to increase immigration because Russia is too homogenous (too Russi
an).
