    If there is no religion people will find something else to fight over.

      In reality nobody is actually fighting for “religion”. They’re actually fighting for nationalism, capitalism, etc.

      Maybe, but religion had caused infinite more wars than all other reasons together in the whole history.

        No, economic factors matter far more. Religion is often used as an excuse, or plays some role, but the real drive is access to trade or resources or labor in the vast majority of cases.

        Yes, and it’s almost entirely due to one religion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_religion
