Yuval Harari Instagram – Mass identities are based on fictional stories, not on scientific facts. Nowadays, much of the division of humans into massive groups still depends on religious myths. So in the 21st century religions don’t bring rain, they don’t cure illnesses, they don’t build bombs – but they do get to determine who are ‘us’ and who are ‘them’, who should we cure and who should we bomb. Most religions have a lot in common, but they are too often weaponized to generate division and conflict.
