The number one reason is LAND and power. Not saying religion hasn't responsible for wars and deaths. Specially with one particular. But its far from the most common reason for war.
Blaming religion is a modern day phenom, and complete bullshit.
I dont disagree but religions have been a part of conflict from day one.
You dont believe the same as me so therefore you must be eliminated, is the thinking. Greed follows beliefs.

We've all witnessed similar events on all the forums we visit or have visited. Sadly, moderators are given the parameters (read beliefs) as to what is acceptable and what isn't......the rest are banned (read killed in war). :
