My opinion: Kind of It is the misunderstanding or difference of religion that can cause wars If there was NO RELIGION then think about this: That means that there is no heavenly body (whichever heavenly body you believe in) then do you really think people would have morals? There would be alot more murder and theft since there is no Bible (or Koran etc.) no specified morals. We would basically be on our own to decided what we think is moral without a God.
There would be ALOT more Al-Qaedas, ALOT more wars.
Think about it. |

People cause wars for whatever reason they want to, but it's usually because they want more power. Then they per_vert their religion to try and justify it. |

I don't know about you, but I don't need a God to tell me that killing is wrong. Also, if no God has ever existed, that would mean that none of those rules were made by them, which would mean they were made by humans.

The global peace index shows that less religious countries are generally more peaceful |

Religion is used to justify the wars, every major propagandist know this.
The only religion I know of advocating for war is Islam. |

| sometimes it depends where in the world. like Canada they have a free country where people of many religions live in peace but if you take a country like Somalia or one of the stan's then it's more likely that there would be a war around religious beliefs. |

| Most religious wars are caused by people thinking other people of different religions are polluting their religion. I'm okay with other religions as long as they don't pollute themselves by causing selfish acts of terrorism... |

| Yes, but less so than does ideology, and any other divisive belief. Even pigs have began wars. |

| Religion itself does not, ideology, rooting from religion, political stance or something else, is the cause. |

What about the billions of dollars collected by religion to help the poor?
The three Abrahamic religions basically require giving money to charity. |
