War is in our faith

Religion has always said to avoid warfae and conflicts. That peace was the best answer. How many atheists do we know have started a war? I know of none. Lets trek back in time. Iraq war, radical muslims call a "holy war" on the US and its allies. Vietnam and Korean War may seem like the ones not in the loop here but you were wrong. The wars main cause was to fight the spread of communism. The ideals behind are that of faith. People here wanted communism to end so that they sould spread christianity and the same for the other side. World War II, Hitler and his mass slaying of the Jews(holocaust) and World War I, was once again, forcing another to be like the other.Beliefs included. We will even go back farther in time. A war broke out between Protestants and Catholics and modern day Lutherans. The Crusades was war of Christianity vs. Muslims. What am I getting at? People have always had a conflict of interest. We dont have to like everyone. The churches and faiths we believe, on the otherhand, say they have too. Hypocrites. The faiths and churches have claimed that will bring peace. Instead, they have brought war and conflict. Think of this:If we didn't have religions would we be war free? I think we might. It seems history has shown, that religion is the root of all evil, or rather all war.

Pretty harsh on religion, but really, it is all true. Interesting...
