I agree with this... but only because I include Communism, Nazism, and New Dealism within religion. Twice as many people were killed by their own allegedly secular governments in the 20th century as died in all wars, let alone in the relatively tiny "religious" conflicts. Once you start believing that you can't be suckered because you're a rational secularist, you're starting down the same road that the religious take.
