I would add to this that wars generally are started over other issues, but religion is used to motivate and mobilize the masses. A classic example is Northern Ireland. The issue at the heart of it is English colonization of Ireland. How do you tell the new settlers from the native population??? The Irish are mostly Catholic and the English (and southern Scots loyal to England) are mostly Protestant. Religion is how they told each other apart. The religious rhetoric followed later.
