I'm not sure what KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!! has to do with this subject. I think you are missing the point that religion is not the inherent reason why men fight or form violently opposed ideologies or tend to gravitate toward objects, persons, or practices of worship (even if that worship is toward "science" and revered intellectual figures). In the South Park episode, the atheist people of the future were pretty much worshipping the Dawkin's like figure who "destroyed religion" in their society.

The eugenics wars was more a moral against trying to artificially augment human beings by skipping evolution and genetically engineering superhumans. It had absoletely nothing to do with religion.
