it is a human identity crisis.

Virtually all of this would go away, if anyone who truly believed in any of the major religions actually acted as those religions taught.

But we are stuck in a world where some "charismatic" individuals have decided that only their views are valid, and they have used what "they" consider important to profess hatred, bigotry and malevolence.

Virtually every religion has as one of it's tenets, "Treat others as you wish to be treated", (which, as far as can be determined came originally from Confucius), but virtually all religions, and secular aspects as well, have abandoned that simple rule.
