PC is a two edged sword, but I have never seen it backfire in this way before. Kind of scary in it's own way, that it is ok to be PC for everything but Religion.
As far as I can tell, this is all about power. Modern religion, even if it does not start out this way, all corrupts into power and the ability to use it. The Cathlic Church is the biggest example of the power a single religion can build. Religon uses 3 major tools to do this job: fear, being elite, and hate. I am almost 95% sure that if you remove the power that religion generates, then most of the killing and hate generated by it will also go away as well.
It is my belief that the bibble belts way of life is being threatened by outside sources (IE TV, Large Chains, and the general population changes going on in the US), and this is just one more way for them to try to attack back to keep the way of life they want. It is still amazing to me to meet people that did not see let alone talk to anyone that was a different race, religion or social class until they went to college (and then they live in shock for a few years before adapting, if they ever do). They have a totally different view on the world and I think they are part of the root cause of this issue.
I have always said Humanities only chance to live more than another thousand years will be to reach the stars, and make it so that one crazy person with the right tech and money can not kill all life at once. The further out into the Galaxy the human race is, the greater chance it has to prosper.
Government run schools that are PC and the best in the world is the only way I know to combat the issues I see in this world today. Private schools that are controlled by religion are not the way to get a well rounded society. Also teaching a well rounded education does wonders for peoples ability to live in society better.
*eyes his long comment* *silly grin*... ok... in short I agree this is crazy *nods*.
