That the two often blend over in various places, because certain lineages has held to certain beliefs over generations, is a confounding variable, not a causation.<p>Never mind that i wonder how many plays along to save their own bacon. Humans will be humans when push comes to shove.<p>Lets not forget that Europe had its 30 year war over a disagreement on Christian doctrine.
