Religion is the cause of war: Christianity

Jesus is a story created by Jews for Christianity, a religion fathered by Judaism.

The Buddha is a story created for Buddhism, a religion fathered by Hinduism.

While Christianity gave birth to the material world of science for the west, Buddhism asserted the non-material nature of existence for the east.

WW1and WW2 erupted in the west. The rumblings of WW3 is heard now; yet again in the west.

So the question is:

How does religion cause war which is human conflict incited by fear and driven by rage?

?

took you a long time to get there. See you are Catholic and on team-Jesus.

First I would say when you lump in "all wars" it makes the question almost nonsensical. It is hard to go through every war in history without any time boundries, size boundries or duration boundries and build a trend. However some dude (or dudette) who is really smart in math will make a software application that can crunch that data by parameter one day. I don't think that exists today though.

On the broadest terms religion is one of the more common componets to war but still a distant second to economic considertions. However some wars specifically run by Team Jesus in our modern time include:

Rwanda Genocide where Catholics performed ethnic cleansing on Muslims

The Bosian war where Chrisitans attempted ethinic cleansing of Muslims

to the short 30 day war in Argentina

and who can forget "Gott Mitt Uns" Adolf Hitler

As a final footnote here is a partical lists of Gods who died and came back before your Jesus showing the blatant plagerism by Christianity of the resurrection myth.

All wars are instances of human conflict caused by fear and rage. Take the Ukraine war, for example. The US and NATO is fearful of Russia and expanded its reach into Ukraine right beside Russia's borders. This caused rage in Russia. It's the same situation in East Asia. The fear of China's growing economic power has caused the US to meddle with China in Hong Kong fomenting riots there, and supplying arms to Taiwan on top of encircling the Chinese with American military bases in Japan, South Korea, and Philippines. This has caused fear in China resulting in her military build up in the South China Seas. US instigation in the supplying of arms and to Taiwan and placing US troops in Kinmen Island has caused rage in China. The US is spoiling for a fight and will get it.
