Undoubtedly, with many wars, it's more complex than a simple matter of religions clashing. That said, I've studied the crusades, and it seems that religion was an overwhelming reason for most of the crusaders to go, even if some of the leaders had political motivations (and even they had some religious motivation too). Religion has often been a factor in war, if not the only one.
Basically, religion has been used to send the mindless herdes to a grisly death for centuries in the name of a non-existent being. What a waste.
