"People nearly always believe, and are willing to back it up with weapons and cruelty, that their religion and way of life is better than the other person's"

This quote talks to the human propensity to be prejudiced towards our own beliefs and values. We frequently think that our religious beliefs and way of living transcends to that of others, and are willing to use violence and cruelty to protect it. This quote highlights the threats of such a frame of mind, as it can result in dispute and violence. It is very important to keep in mind that everybody has their own beliefs and values, and that nobody is inherently better than another. We need to strive to be tolerant and understanding of various cultures and religions, and to recognize that we all have something to learn from each other.
