No, religion didn't cause any of those. Nowhere did any of the holy teachings of any of them say "go out and kill because I told you to". Religion was used as the excuse. For example there are gangs who take flicknives to football matches and kick seven bells in to each other.
Did football cause the fights?
No, it was used as the excuse. People will kill and fight no matter what - all they need is an excuse.

I am not here to fight with you but you really need to look at the facts.
By your own admission religion has been used as an excuse. Do away with religion and, bingo!, you do away with one of the most fundamental reasons (see "excuse") for the butchery and extermination of people who don't subscribe to a particular religious belief.
It's not rocket science and, in that context, I stand by my assertion that the original poster was right.
