While religion has rarely been the actual cause of many wars, it is indisputable that it has been used by rulers down the centuries to motivate their subjects to fight for them. It is much easier to get the sheeple to fight(and die) for some nebulous ideal than it is to get them to fight for your latest land grab.

And this is why religion is evil. Because it is first and foremost a control mechanism without compare.
