answer:I believe that it is a catalyst, but not the only one. War and strife are part of people’s nature, and religion is tainted by this. Proof is, people have waged wars for other things, not just religion. Whether it’s clan feuds between Vikings or huge ass world wars with immense armies, strife finds a cause, rather than the other way around. I must agree though, when it comes to war, religion is what rears its mug most of the time.
