Simple, cultures that rally around a single power base and/or religion are usually strong, and strong cultures usually survive and thrive rather than weaker ones, so there is a sort of social natural selection there. We're bred to be xenophobic Daily Mail reading morons. Isn't that a comforting thought?

Myself, I'd rather live in a free culture than a strong one, although I think all cultures have a shelf life of one form or another and we've reached the end of ours. I would gladly ditch my own culture for a better one - Islam *not* included.
