Yyyeahh.. sorry, that's actually supposed to read "anyone with a brain" not just 'atheists. Tell ya what, name 1 war NOT led, finance, influenced, or caused by religion.... I'll wait.
I'm not so determined to prove you wrong that I'm going to do a bunch of research, but I highly doubt all wars in recorded history where caused by or had anything to do with religion. A wiki page I googled in 5 seconds say 6.98% of all wars were religious, so...
Even many that were called religious were really about resources, incompatible cultures, or some schism within a society that could themselves be traced to resources or culture.
It’s almost like religion has intrinsically been a part of culture in one way or another throughout history and therefore cannot be so easily separated
@creativedragonbaby Ah, but we CAN separate from those religions which claim that THEIR God created only the Earth and / or that it is flat. Simply by leaving Earth and those people behind. "Oh your God says the vacuum of space is an illusion? Preach from the air lock. (ffffwwpppp)".
One example is how the Irish-British tension in Northern Ireland usually is described as "Catholic-Protestant" conflict. But, it's really between the Irish who believe the British are interlopers seizing Irish land, and British who believe they colonized land that was obtained far in the past and it's no longer Irish. The Irish and British are culturally Catholic and Protestant. But, the struggle gets painted as religious.
If you read quotes from Hitler, he was decidedly anti-Christian, despite people assigning some religious connotation to him because his mom took him to church as a child. Stalin and Pol Pot were some more atheists who didn't do much for atheists' reputation as peace-loving.
Hitler & Mousollini literally threatened the pope into delivering a papal bull declaring the German Italian aggression as accepted by the Catholic church in order to keep all the good Catholic boys in uniform fighting the nasty protestants and degenerate Americans.
