2026-02-12.5_border stone - european xenophobia

just taking a walk and picking up clues on the origins of european/christian racism and xenophobia: the following is a border stone and the plaque describes the process of how other stones were set down in the area in 1775. the end says: the protocol of the action was signed by 13 people and ended with ‘Soli DEO gloria’, which translates to: ‘only to honor god’ / ‘only for the glory of god’.
now, what might it tell us about a group of people that they demarcate territory with border stones ‘to honor [their] god’?
