How do you even think this is a response? What is wrong with you?
I actually agree with polaris here (although I grant he could have unwrapped his point a bit).
One of the constants of religion is that powerful men have always used it to manipulate people and to mobilise public consent for wars. Of course its easy to point to many a war which has been fought IN THE NAME of religion. But really, in the absence of religion, would the wars have not happened? Or would people have come up with another excuse?

Maybe, maybe not. I call "burden of proof".
