That wars are caused by individuals for their own reasons and make use of religion to create support for it.
This seems disengenous because it recognises that religion is an ideal carrier for conflict but then slides away by insisting that it is some nefarious individual promoting the conflict. If religion is capable of finding conflict then it is likely that it will do so.
At the heart of dogmatic religion is the notion that it has the truth. Anything that contradicts it is wrong. Anything that goes against it is a threat. It cannot be any more clear.
A dogmatic claim that does not have a means of defending itself is not long for this world.
