People have died in wars based on nothing but human avarice, with
religion as the dressing to break down a person's natural inclination
not to kill for the first time.

Let's not go and blame religion when other factors, usually condemned
by religious belief systems, are more operative. To do so would be
insignificant cause fallacies. Fights and wars have broken out over
things other than religion, and no society goes to war for that reason
alone. It's too much work!
