Do you think religion causes war?

I dont think religion causes war. But misunderstanding of religion causes war.

Most definitely yes throughout history. The Crusades.

People cause war. Religion is just so many people's excuse. After all, when you think you have God's backing, you can justify anything. Everybody wants to rule the world is mankind's greatest problem. I wonder is people wanting war realize that God does not believe or back war of any kind. There are better ways to solve disputes. Instead of going to war, make them your best friend. One will be surprised how much we all have in common.

I think war causes war. Religious belief which isn't the same I guess as religion is only what someone believes and therefore should be more about dialogue than killing people. It is my religious belief being a Christian is satan wants to everything he can to shut down the dialogue. - just thought I would toss that in here.

In my opinion it's never *only* religion. Politics and economic problems are also involved.

Do you think religion causes wars? I think it is ignorance that causes wars.

Yes. when one think his religion is the right path to god. that's when religion becomes terrorism.
