"the behaviour and attitudes that stem from strong loyalty to one's own tribe or social group." there we go.
It's F all to do with sectarianism/racism/homophobia per se', on a personal level, it's all about being recognised as part of a clan.
I am a Jehovah's Witness btw

I'll remember that the next time a Rangers fan calls me or my family Fenian *******s. Just a bit of harmless tribalism.

Interpret it any way you want, but personally i have never encountered open hostility on a one to one basis with any follower of any club. They hunt with the hounds. Get my drift now ?

Thus they sing "Billy Boys" or "Fields of Athenry" with no thought to the meaning or origins of their groups chosen anthems, rather than be questioned as to their loyalty by not "joining in "
Tribal need not be sectarian btw, although it often develops from that root
By that i meant sectarianism comes out of tribalism and not vice versaLast edited by Hibsman07; 14-03-2019 at 07:57 AM.

Religion in all it's forms is just bull****, don't care who that offends but arguing over who's imaginary friend is better, really?

I've just been reading an article by a native American, objecting to the use of the word tribalism in a strictly negative sense. He was pointing out that tribalism is actually consistent with attributes like sharing, family, conscientiousness, promotion of the group at the expense of the individual, et al.
The native groups don't like it when 'tribalism' is used in a pejorative sense, especially in relation to partisan politics.
Just chucking that one out there

I agree with the OP to an extent.
Sectarianism in a Scottish football context isn't generally motivated by theology or religious doctrine. It's motivated by a desire to be different from the 'other lot'. On a wider level I'd argue many who line the streets for Orange Order marches or whatever have a similar mindset. There's a reason thousands pack town and city centres for these but Kirks lie half empty every week.

"promotion of the group" herein lies the problem. The group attain to be the best/strongest, hence the "we are the people" mentality which then emanates itself by disparaging other (often weaker) groups who they feel threatened by. So they target the other groups cultures and beliefs, and in doing so perpetuate a system whereby they believe themselves to be supreme and we are all lesser mortals..... New Rangers e.g.

It's not a reason not to seek to eradicate the base problem though; if anything, it should be incentive to try harder.

Arguing over religion is like arguing over who'd win a fight between the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny
