Concurred. Although I disagree that religion has ever directly been the cause for any war. Economic and political reasons, I believe, are much more likely then religious divisions. Jerusalem, during the times of the Crusades was a major port city that accumulated vast amounts of wealth. Whoever controlled the city could control that wealth. During the reign of the caesars in Rome, it was common for a new emperor to wage a campaign against neighboring territories in order to gain their tributes and political repsect.
