As a previous resident of Southcentral US and currently Southeastern US, I concur. Organized religion is the most potent socio-cultural poison in modern times in the US. Sadder than that, what we're mentioning in tandem is but a small portion of the larger inter-and-intra religious conflicts occurring worldwide, as well, or geo-political conflicts aided by them, which are almost equivalent. Even worse, in some respects.
