Ok maybe i didnt make it clear, what I was saying is that Religion has been used as an excuse for war. If you dig deep enough into the relevant beliefs and history of the key players I am sure some form of religious misgiudance is there. And if look at some wars, usually say between the seiks and the hindus, the muslims and the christians, then religion is definately the cause of these wars.

ANYONE inflicting pain on others is not following Christ's teachings.
