The problem with your logic, and I use that term generously, is that the majority of wars over resources were still started by religionistas.
If materialism is an atheist thing, why do believers indulge in it so much?

I'm wondering if PP is aware that there is more than one atheist and one theist in the world, and that people can be different.

Saudis, for example, execute peacful protesters and invest in terror groups, because koran has so much sanctioned by God brutality.
Koran is geared towards war, no questions there. But what about NT Bible, it has so many verses about compassion. Hindu "bible" is all about compassion as well. And Buddhism praises it as the most valuable thing. Those verses about compassion should inspire good people instead of warmongers for the most part.

Their god told them the resources were rightfully theirs. Manifest Destiny.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

Do we really need to remind you how many deaths have occurred at the hands of christians and their NT? Where do you think "Kill them all and let god sort it out" came from?

If population is extremly poor, you can easily justify war by offering nazi, jihad, extremist christianity ideas. Africans, right now are joining jihad efforts for a promised heaven in chaliphate.
There are crazy people in christianity, but I have met only good people among them so far.

Then you don't read or get out much. Are you being intentionally ignorant or is that your way of maintaining your delusional bliss?
