Ollie's earlier post said:This danger of absolute belief isn't exclusive to religion, though. The last hundred years has seen a number of horribly violent political regimes based on absolutist secular political philosophies (Communist USSR, the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, Nazi Germany, Maoist China, etc.)
