	I don't think one could remotely begin to compare Nietzsche's influence on society / history to that of Martin Luther.</div></blockquote>
	<br />
	Yeah.  It's like comparing Nena and her Luftballons to Beethoven.</div></blockquote>

	I think Nietzsche's concept of Will to Power and the Superman is far more influential as far as Nazi ideology is concerned (master race, creation of the new German etc.) The root of European anti-Semitism is not theism - I just don't see evidence for it. The mere fact that there are plenty of examples of peaceful religious co-existence show that factor outside of religious ideology contribute to religious conflict.</div></blockquote>

	Of course other factors contribute.  I never said they didn't.<br />
	<br />
	But the mere fact that you said "factor outside of religious ideology contribute to religious conflict" is an admission that the religious factor is a major element.  Which is all that I was claiming.<br />
	<br />
	By the way, if you don't see theistic factors at the root of European anti-Semitism it's only because you don't know that history very well.  What else is at the root?  Europeans hated kosher cuisine?  Come on.  I suggested that you read the Luther pamphlet.  Here's a link:<br />

	Maybe a Jewish kid beat him up once.  Yeah, religion had nothing to do with it.
