how many wars have been ignited by religion?

i'm not an expert on these historical matters, but i'm sure that all through human history, untold billions have died in the name of some diety or another. shias versus shiites, catholics versus protestants, jews against muslims, chrisitans against hindus, it seems neverending.

which god has been responsible for the most megadeaths? christianity has got to be up there on the top of the list. many times, the enemie's gods are the central point of the fight. my own mother calls for a holy crusade against ALL Islam, and calls muslims worshippers of a false god. i think she's deluded and mentally disabled by her own zealotry.

the gods must really laugh at us sometimes, up there from their lofty cloud cities. the sun god battles the sky god. the christian god battles the muslim god. and we down here on our little dirt ball in the cosmos keep attacking one another for no other reason than our invisible gods can't seem to kiss and make up.

imagine no religion. it's easy if you try. no hell below us, above us only sky.
