JockSporran I did not say that religion caused ALL wars, but they have caused quite a few.
Dont mention communism on here you may cause upset
Some religions and religious people actually oppose war.Only if they are of the SAME relgion
Some have even suffered imprisonment, torture and persecution for opposing war.Im sure some have.
Perhaps I should have used the word SOME so as not to give the impresion that some of you may have thought i meant all

Am globally travelled and resided E-W. The one place of worship I found truly 'open to all - no questions' is the Sikh Gudwarra (temple). Most impressive is their open-house to food. Each & every day there is free food available to anyone without obligation (other than removal of shoes & supplied head covering). U can sleep on floor (at night) for shelter.
Am told the families take turns to prepare food which is donated. Hence few sikhs 'live rough on streets'. For their generosity my extra produce donated to my local sikh-temple (am christian).....oooooooooh and curry & chapatti...whenever!

JockSporran, your first point is nonsensical: The fact that you know of a war that wasn't connected with religion doesn't negate the statement that "religions cause wars" any more than knowing someone who hasn't been shot negates the statement "guns kill people".
