          Not really, their material conditions are what drives the conflict. End the aparthied regime and with it the largest factors in division crumble, over time feelings will fade.

          It certainly won’t be simple, easy, or immediate, but it is the only valid path to lasting peace. Everthing else keeps the core problems intact.

          Are people born with a genetic predisposition towards accepting religious texts? Why are some populations more or less dogmatically religious?

                  Closer! Access to education helps, certainly. Social tolerance for critical thinking, however, stems from material conditions as well, however.

                    That’s a pretty naive take. There are plenty of rich religious fundamentalists, and plenty of poor atheists. And plenty of rich societies with very little tolerance for critical thinking
