   		Most of the old nations of Asia are racist including the Chinese   
   Communists   
   	and regard the Western nations/races as less evolved.   
   		Maybe we are.   
   		Mammon and Phobos are poor choices but are widely worshiped around the   
      world by every people in every nation under the guise of other   
   organized religions including Communism.
