| Maybe this is because I am an atheist,
but 90% of all international conflict really seems to originate around religion, or has it as a major theme.
The spanish armada, the crusades, then you had many wars in Europe between the the catholics and the protestant, it even led to the most famous settlers in the USA. Today you have east timor, Rwanda, pakistan and India, Iran and Iraq, afghanistan, places where everyone is divided by their religion, Northern Ireland. The jews have been kicked out of more countries than I care to name here, and now want to remove other people from their 'promised land'! Get rid of religion and you wil get more peace. The old testament tellss how 'God' gave people different languages to split them apart with the tower of babel, that is the biggest joke; Man discovered religion...
The biggest setback to human discovery and inovation. Just count the number of famous people who were chastised for their discoveries, you only have to look at the deep south (of the USA) to see how short sighted these people are banning evolution in the classroom.
I read a story about how some missionaries discovered this tribe of native in Papua new Guinea, carrying around a rock which they believed was 'God', which controlled the universe, so they gave them christianity instead!!
