Does religion cause war?

It's not the religion that causes war. Religion in contemporary understanding doesn't invite its members to wage war. I know there are lot of people out there who are just using some religious texts out of context and for their own selfish motives.

Hi nirishasol :) I believe that conflicts on belief is usually a start of a war. That includes religion since it is a part of our life that leads us. So it definitely cause war. On some places, most of the country having a war has a difference on religion.

I'm completely agree with you. So much violent in today world is because of this religion every one competes each other to prove their is superior than others and many others reason...I don't know what they get by killing or by giving pain..I just hope one day all things became right and world become peaceful...

hhhmmmn because those are gods are false LOL there is only one GOd, no long talk sweety hehehe

Hi friend, religion does not cause war. Religion is made a cause of war by few misguided persons. If I would have been the president of world. I would have merged the names of Bhagwan, Allah and Jesus.

Religion is the excuse, not the cause. If we had no religion we would simply find another reason. Borders and ethnicity would still be easy ways to throw around the "them vs us" mentality. We would still have to define "right" and "wrong" and that would divide us. If that didn't work, there's always extortion and ransom, among other types of bullying people use to make others do as they wish. Religion does not cause pain and suffering. People use religion as an excuse to cause pain and suffering. People are the problem.
