....religious conflict, racial conflict, economic conflict, political conflict, territorial conflict, military conflict, media communication conflict---all are excuses, does it matter if we really don't live our faith ?

I don't think it's wise to combine the two into one, so I like your separation of class and faith. Whether it is the biggest issue likely depends upon with whom you speak. There are people of all faiths in every social or economic or ethnic "class", so the two are jumbled within each other.
One thing I do not endorse is equalizing everybody on an economic basis. To me, that destroys the initiative to succeed and "get ahead". It is the truest way to turn America into the Spartan society of Ancient Greece, where no one had any more than his neighbor, in possessions, rights, or opportunity. Might as well make a couple of "perfect people" in a test tube and clone them repeatedly.

Religions conflict only when a religion cannot allow another religion to have the faith they wish,,all faiths believe they are right,but it is the people that must choose the faith they believe to be right,hence the reason some people chop and change to a different faith.As for the Class problem,the rich will always get richer,,and to mix faith and class together,the bible says,,"the poor will be with you always"...>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

The thing about us human mammals is we find a reason for discord so we can control people and thus resources. Class does not really matter, because money and wealth most of the time, wins. It's great if a community and/or society grows to be caring and benevolent toward it's less wealthy neighbors, something like America tries to be in many cases. I believe in a religion, but recognize that religion is a grand and great way to control people. If God said it, it's got to be correct. Who can argue with that? So the only answer for the non rich is to get your licks in early, by talking, figuring things out and have a plan to talk to the powerful. Otherwise we might find ourselves in a bunch of trouble. e.g. On PBS new today, it was reported that Tillison visited overseas and implied we're through talking to Korea about testing those weapons. If the public does not like his subtle suggestion, we better letter write or something, before . . .
