All religions.
The crazy thing is that the three main religions all derive from the same dumb story of Abraham convincing himself that God wanted him to murder his own son to prove his belief in God.
Luckily some slightly sane part of his mind kept him from doing it, but his delusion convinced him it was God that stayed his hand.
I recently read that up until fairly recently in human history, people didn't understand thinking. They didn't realize it was their own mind coming up with ideas, they literally thought God placed it there. Come up with a good solution to a problem? You didn't think of it, refine it, figure out how to apply it, etc. GOD gave you the idea. They really didn't think they were capable of their own independent thought.
So all three religions worship the exact same God, and believe in the same origin stories, but we still have to genocide all the others because their version of the guy with uncontrolled schizophrenia who tried to murder his son in the name of God, has different nuances than my version.
Whoa whoa whoa... Are we talking the guy with uncontrolled schizophrenia who tried to murder his son in the name of God council of 1879 here, or the guy with uncontrolled schizophrenia who tried to murder his son in the name of God council of 1912?
I considered linking Emo Philips' brilliant joke, now you've forced my hand:
