This reminds me of a scene from The Jerk where Navin, guessing people's weights at a carnival, looks at shelves of potential prizes only to limit the winner to about three inches on one particular shelf.
You took all of history off the table for obvious reasons. Issues in Ireland weren't that long ago. Serbia ring a bell? Let me guess, the U.S. magically is no longer considered a Christian nation when it drops bombs in the Middle East for the better part of two decades. I'll just assume you have no knowledge of the Christian militias in the Central Africa Republic.
Wars are never exclusively about religion, but religion has always been used by those in power to manipulate and motivate the stupid masses. You will of course offer some weasel-dicked excuse that all Christian examples don't count because of some superficial caveat such as, they weren't trying to convert anyone, they weren't real Christians, we're all sinners, et al. ad nauseam.
What you apologists (for any religion proclaiming peace) never fail to address is why your morally bankrupt systems are incapable of preventing atrocities carried out by its practitioners. Humans were busy fucking each other over long before religion emerged, but there has been no single more malicious device for extending tribalism and creating us vs. them than religion.
Wiping the Abrahamic religions off the face of the Earth is not a panacea for all our ills, but doing so would negate one huge problem-inducing facet that would no longer have to be considered and overcome. Religion is part of the problem, not the solution. It's been tried for millenia and has failed miserably. Dragging you morons into modernity is becoming exhausting.
