You’re oversimplifying commitment.

Religious belief is required for religious tribalism, otherwise it’s not religious tribalism, it’s some other form of tribalism.

You said it was religious tribalism.

“It’s not religious belief it’s religious tribalism”

Ahh yes, religious tribalism. Famously able to exist without religious belief.

Your dismissal is empathetic but inaccurate.

These people literally believe they’ve retaken the “holy land” (when Britain helped them invade Palestine in the mid 1900s).

Many abrahamic worshippers believe these are the prophesized end times, especially in Israel.

Religion is at the core of many conflicts in the Middle East, especially in the levant.

When it’s not at the core, it’s still is in a way — because it tells people sacrificing their life is just a temporary speed bump in their existence, one which will make the road after it way more pleasant and rewarding.
