Their effect on cognition results in "yes/no", or "all or nothing" decision making that causes people to reason and view the world in a polarized fashion. This strongly segregates groups by beliefs.Us Against Them argues that the essential difference between the religious/conservative and the secular/liberal is driven by tribalism, not ideology. This is evidenced by the exclusive nature of conservative ideology that divides people into separate groups as evidenced by common features such as "you're with us or against us", "believers and heretics", "attack to defend", "the Patriot Act", and tax cuts for the wealthy as opposed to direct expenditures that affect all.
