Religion isn't the cause, the mode of production is. Economic factors are far more important when it comes to war, including this one.
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
Yeah Donald Trump is a devout Christian that must be the problem.
Do you know any social advanced, free and human rights respecting Theocracy? The problem with Trump is, apart of the religion, that he is an ignorant and stupid nazi asshole.
The reason I know this is fake is because the book isn't upside down
First of all, no. Secondly, no.
I wish this was news
greed first. its religion AND capital. cherry-picked fairy tales used to oppress and control, making the privileged more powerful and less empathetic, brainwashing the ignorant and leading to so much pointless hate-- religion is a sword and greed is the hand holding it. maybe im wrong but religion wouldnt exist if people didnt want more and more and more. more power, more superiority, more land (bc saying the land is holy and promised to you means its ok to take it by force), even the audacity to believe death isnt the end, they can have more life and shit? you cant own death. mankind evolved with so much creativity and abstract capabilities and this is where we are, dumb as hell.
Gotta erase all those disgusting borders.
Likewise gotta end the most violent and brainwashed religion of them all: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_religion
