People would go to extremes even without religion; religion just keeps things ordered by group rather than Free-For-All-Smash-Style. In the absence of religion, race would become more prominent. Maybe beauty, intelligence, absence of physical deformity, political power, etc., would all gain such importance that the current levels of violence enacted due to religion would even be exceeded. In fact, religion is the only one of the aforementioned factors that actually prevents violence in addition to causing it (well, they all do to a certain extent, but usually that's a fairly short extent). For example, your race doesn't tell you not to kill another human being, whereas most religions do indeed. Religious fantacisim is emphasized by the media. Every day, you hear about the three guys who planted a roadside bomb and caused lots of people to go BOOM out of religious spite, but why don't you ever hear about the millions of other people that haven't committed murder for religious reasons?
