Humans are naturally tribalistic, so some ingroup-outgroup tension is a universal thing.

However one of these groups pounds it into your head at an early age that people who think differently than them are wicked and deserve eternal torture for how evil they are.

The other group does not do that.

So yeah... big shocker yere.
