Humans are incredibly effective in finding specific reasons to hate other groups. If races or religions ceased to exist, the insecurity that fuels victimization would remain. Facts such as wealth, nationality or political affiliation would become predominant factors, leaving us no better and no worse off in general. In a world where your allegiance to professional football teams can lead you to be singled out for violence [1], the need to single out differences of any kind appears to be the prime factor in negativity - and thus even if one source of difference is removed, it will not create a meaningful impact.
