I find it strange that non-religious people somehow mange to blame nearly all wars on religion.  It has nothing to do with politicians looking to gain territory and natural resources.  It has nothing to do with corporations wanting to increase sales of the fantastic and very expensive new weapons they have developed.

What it really amounts to is everyone wants to blame someone else.  The religious blame the non-religious and the non-religious blame the religious.  The governments blame each other.  The rich blame the poor and the poor blame the rich.

The truth of course is that we all share some of the blame because we all allow it.
