    Admittedly I’m a pretty hardcore atheist, and realize that clouds my objectivity. My comment was a very loose generalization, and I agree 100% with your comment (and let me blanket all others that say the same as you) that religion is the excuse to fight, not necessarily the reason.

      The genocides and wars of conquest by atheistic communist nations pretty much confirm that religion is an excuse. Moreover, as organized religion declines, we have seen a corresponding rise in both new age pseudo religions and magical thinking based pseudo cults.
