if i may answer, our country's "wars" based on history were really rooted from religion. apparently, a lot of our people died during the time when we were occupied by the Spaniards was due to a "confession" by a woman to a priest. confession, as in the sacred sacrament of confession. it became the avenue of the spaniards to know about the plans of the katipuneros against them. the katipuneros are people who were members of a revolutionary organization called katipunan... generally, we were generally toppled down several times because of religion. ironically, our country remains to be the only country in asia who still stuck to the teachings of catholics (introduced by the spaniards to us) and has largely adopted to it although a lot have converted to being "protestants". presently, the domestic wars are said to be about terorrism but it's realistically the struggle of our muslim brothers and sisters to have their fair share of freedom to practice their religion also. ugh! i hate it when i take this topic seriously. LOL!

it's a shame that people would use something like religion to justify war.

I would say that religion is the main cause for wars. Money and power are the other reasons.

I used to think that to, but like the article says, less than 7% of all wars are due to religion, so I dunno...
