How many times have people gone to war over religion? Very rarely, greedy, power hungry rulers have used religion for their own ends to rabble rouse for sure but for things like gold, land and protection of their own interests rather than a belief in God, when you scratch the surface even things like the crusades and the Spanish inquisition prove Elsie's statement to be untrue in the main, that's not to say awful things haven't happened in the name of religion, just to say they aren't at all common as people think.
