Wars are not fought "over religion." Wars are fought over property, and religion is used to justify it.

@alpine_thistle I’d broaden the definition to describe “religious war” as about power, control, and wealth.

@Huntn00 @alpine_thistle or, perhaps, religion is about power, control and wealth.

@alpine_thistle @Huntn00 Believe whatsoever it is that makes you happy, but fail to turn it into a religion unless you want to obtain power, control and wealth.

Remember, the Pope has had literal martial armies in the past.

@alpine_thistle @Huntn00 I am most certainly not culturally catholic. Not even close.
