One angle on religion is that it's "memes people are so attached to that it's more trouble than it's worth to use violence to oppose them, especially if the people themselves aren't very violent".
Nationalism is in the same category, I think.
What are some memes that are worth opposing with violence?
Thuggee and Dacoity?
Edit: Also Sati, probably since I was already primed for British colonial suppression of local Indian culture with some good effects mixed in. I wonder if there are examples outside of imperialism/colonialism.
