    I don’t think so. The religions are an easy way to legitimate wars but they are not the first reason for them. (And look at Buddhism. They found a way to a healthy lifestyle. ~Fake News. I didn’t know what happend in Myanmar and Burma for example.)

      Unfortunately even Buddhist aren’t perfect. Just look what’s going on in Burma/Myanmar.

      But regardless it’s correct that Religion often is used as a tool for parties to gain and exercise political power.

        it’s a good way to create division. especially between two people who have more socio economically in common then they do with the ruling elites.

          No worries, it’s a something I think a lot of people don’t know so it’s good to talk about.

      In this case it literally is the cause. Israel was founded on this land because of the religious ties to this exact place.

          That’s okay. I thought the same thing before. That Buddhism was the least of the worst because of their anti violence stance. But it turns out religion is religion.
