SO TRUE

'Dew of Hermon', is taken from a line in Psalm 133. The writer of that ancient song enthused about how good it is when people live together in unity,and compares it poetically to the dew of Hermon descending upon the mountains of Zion. In that spirit it is hoped these scribblings will be more refreshing mountain dew, than obscurantist valley fog, where a weary Pilgrim might be refreshed and replenished for the journey ahead.

Fantastic!
This was good - tho' I'm not so sure about the "religion causes war" bit. I think that's a general stereotype many have, while I think the truth is that our desires cause wars, and religion, unfortunately, rarely stops it. But, just looking at the US's wars I find only one war possibly caused by religion - the Iraq war. The others? Revolutionary, 1812, Spanish-American, Civil, Indian wars, Mexican, WW's 1 & 2, Korean, Vietnam, Gulf - none were caused by religion. Granted, that's only a portion of the world's wars, but worth considering. Otherwise, I thought it was nicely done.
Dew is water in the form of droplets that appears on thin, exposed objects in the morning or evening. As the exposed surface cools by radiating its heat, atmospheric moisture condenses at a rate greater than that at which it can evaporate, resulting in the formation of water droplets.
Mildew:
The term mildew is often used generically to refer to mold growth, usually with a flat growth habit. Molds can thrive on many organic materials, including clothing, leather, paper, and the ceilings, walls and floors of homes or offices with poor moisture control. There are many species of molds. The black mold (often called mildew) which lives on shower walls, window sills, and other places where moisture levels are high is often Stachybotrys chartarum and is linked with sick building syndrome. In unaired places, such as basements, they can produce a strong mustyodor.
