Description
One of the stupidest reasons to wage war is because of some kind of difference in belief...and the inability of many, regardless of religious affiliation, to accept the different beliefs, non-beliefs, and otherness of others in general.
Faith should be exclusively a private matter. No power to people who force you under the banner of a certain religion and determine that you have to hate everyone who doesn't believe the same as you, that they are your enemies, whom you have to kill because a god supposedly wills it!
As an atheist, I don't care at all whether or what someone believes, as long as they don't get on my nerves and let their beliefs be a private matter.
One can assume that people over a certain age have studied this topic extensively (and not only this one!) and have a strong opinion about it. So you can't force anyone to believe something...especially under the threat or use of physical force. No one becomes a believer because of a threat to their life and limb, and anyone who seriously believes that is, in my eyes, at best an idiot, and at worst simply a criminal reacting out of base instincts.
Just stop trying to convert others to something against their will, especially by such means!

The killing of any human by another human happen within the 1st book of the old Bible and still goes on today
Seems like the cause of most - if not all - wars boils down to religion. It's sick. Live and let live. Convincing set of images.
Hi Rod! I think religion is just one of the reasons why wars break out. Reason No. 1 is probably greed: greed for power, for raw materials, for influence, for dominance; wanting to dictate what people should think and do, spreading fear. The reasons aren't always rationally comprehensible, see Ukraine or Tibet. In Tibet, the Chinese in the late 1950s were all about pure dominance, about striving for supremacy. They simply claimed that Tibet had always been Chinese, period. Similar to Russia. Putin himself once said, in essence, that Russia is everywhere Russian soldiers set foot! As I said, religion is only one part of the spectrum, but in my opinion, a particularly nasty one.
