Betray an institution, no matter how large, and you have only betrayed an idea. Betray people in favor of an institution and you have betrayed your species. Nations and religions are institutions, are ideas. Treason and heresy, it would seem, are in the eye of the beholder.
Support for anything that supports some people and not others is to commit heresy against one's humanity and treason against your species. People occupy the top slot of my hierarchy of values, one need only ask themselves what occupies their own, and if it isn't people they should perhaps re-evaluate what it is they hold so dear.
