Isms
If you missed South Park's latest round of episodes on the Richard Dawkins/Atheist stuff, you're missing out.
I won't post the YouTube videos here, as they will likely get pulled down for copyright, but you can find them easily enough (the episode is called Go God Go!). I'll just leave you with one line which made me snarf my bottled water:
Cartman: Wait, isn't everybody at war over atheism?
Future Guy #1: Atheism? No, we've learned to get rid of all the -isms in our time.
Future Guy #2: Yes, long ago, we realized -isms are great for those who are rational, but in the hands of irrational people, -isms always lead to violence.
Cartman: So there is no war now in the future?
Future Talking Sea Otter: Of course there's war! The stupid French-Chinese think they have a right to Hawaii!

Brilliant!
I have always thought that the claim that "religion is responsible for wars" was among the dumbest arguments men have advanced, especially in the second half of the 20th century and beyond.
