You are way wrong on this one.

It is true there have been a handful of wars 'in the name of...' and Islam has a great big list of those.
There have been some wars 'in the name of Buddha' or some Crusades 'in the name of Jesus',
but.
Almost EVERY WAR has always been about one single thing - land.
Land.
Land and we can say the resources in and on that land.
That is well over 90% of every war that has ever happened in human civilization.
If not its more.. its closer to 99%

Religions (not counting Islam) tend to keep people in check and make them think twice,
but,
It almost always over land.

Its really annoying how many people go around saying 'most wars are over religion' when that is WAY WRONG and just an astonishing ignorance of easy History.
