Do you really think that the Israeli and the Palestinians would live together happily if they did not have their religions? No if so they would find some other name to fight for.

You have a way of skipping right over the point. The root of fanaticism is exploitation. The root of religion is exploitation, the root of government is exploitation, the root of capitalism is exploitation.
Fanaticism is like the edge of insanity that can't be treated or cured. Religion without extremism is still crazy. Don't ask me to accept it as a healthy beleif.
