The bolded part is far from true and pretty much ignorant. I can mostly agree with the rest of your statement. Religious fanaticism brought us the crusades. Secular fanaticism brought us the Holocaust, and Stalin.. Don't think we want to add up the deaths with both. I abhor any kind of fanaticism. But the problem is, mentally deranged morons like POED associate religion with fanaticism.
