Some of them, yes, for sure. But a lot also had religion for excuse, masking the commercial or political interests behind them. Like, most of the Crusades were pretty mundane. An excuse for feudal lords on ocidental Europe and rising kings to take their chances on getting oriental spices, fabrics etc.

not as a whole, some wars were fought soley based on greed, political ambitions, but yes in some cases religion is a cause for war.

Depends on the war, and really, I dont think religion has been 100% the reason of any war, but I dont know much and I could be wrong.

Religion is used as an excuse. A powerful excuse at that.

It's quite easy to sway people when their fanboyism blinded them.

Great OP, you got your point across well.

I'm not even going to respond to the title question since you couldn't be bothered to write anything in your own thread.

Some are.

Religion makes it easier for wars to occur, but in most cases religion isn't the cause for war. For instance, the Crusades were caused by European desire to conquer new lands and acquire wealth (just as the Muslims did in the Balkans and Iberia), but it was easier to recruit soldiers, raise money, and keep morale high by using religion as the reason.

undoubtebly religion has been a major factor in many wars and conflicts, its also a major factor in why homophobia and sexism have been prevalient in society, not to mention that churches also trired and still try to block the progress of human knowledge though science.

Ditto.
