"The Book of Eli" with Denzel Washington seems to put a finger on that question. There are those who love to leverage religion to acquire power. There are others who truly believe.
In the end, however, the power-hungry end up with the same amount of power as the true believer. Ponder this: Alexander the Great once ruled some six million square miles of real estate. However, he now "rules" only about 40 square feet. And he doesn't enjoy even that little bit (if, indeed, his body is interred in Alexandria--no one really knows where his remains er--remain).

@redredred Israel is one of the only two countries in the world, made in the name of religion. Promise land for Jews so they occupied Palestine and Jews of all colors migrated to promise land of Israel. Even that, some of the Jews were secretly migrated to Israel by human trafficking as it was like going to heaven on Earth for Jews. Such an amazing unity until I came across the riots news between black and white Jews. Both with pure blood lines but just over the difference of color of their skins.
Isn't it amazing that, they go through all this over the name of religion and yet they can't get rid of human element?
Eleminate all the religions and you still be fighting for some reasons. It os part pf our DNA, blame Gods or evolution but its always us.
