Religion workgroup?

Any reason for the workgroup selection? Surely the Religion workgroup would be appropriate for this article? –Tom Morris 17:32, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Even though it might interfere with my quest for world power, as a History Editor, I'd recommend substituting Religion for History.
It's not yet clear if there is a unifying higher-level article, and I have no good name for it, dealing with xenophobia, demagoguery, scapegoats, etc. At some level, Hofstadter's essay on "The Paranoid Tendency in American Politics" seems relevant.
Blessed be and bright blessings, (traditional witch goodbye)
