Most wars not caused by religion

I just read a very interesting article on the Huffington Post, which is usually very anti-Christian. The author talks about a study done in the UK where the motivation for the largest wars in history were determined to see the role of religion. The rankings went from 0-5, 0 being no religious involvement to 5 being complete religious involvement. The study concluded that 60% of wars scored 0, and only 10% were greater than 3 (meaning some religious involvement). The author also suggested that religion may decrease war because it is the single most unifying things we have for humanity. To read the full article, go to:

    1. Dictators, war mongers, have no religion they kill just because they feel like it. In my life time i can name at least (at least) eight of these murders, and between them they have murdered millions. There is a religion now on the move that will murder anybody that does not believe in their so called god, who has to get somebody to do his dirty work for him they don't believe in a god.If Almighty God wants something done, He will do it himself, he doesn't need you or me to do it for him. Real believers in God, don't kill in his name or for him. Those who do, do only what their leaders tell them to do. NB. (sarcasm) study before putting your foot in your mouth.Chris Weber. Q.. Why don't you sign your name.
