Disagree. Just as many are fought over economic and socio-political issues...lust for power and wealth... if you consider economic and political philosophies as religions as well- then he is right
Most wars are started over a money, this could mean the fight is over resources or the ability to transport said resources. Religious ideology would be the number two reason for wars to start. However, many times the two go hand in hand.

Iraq War, World Wars 1 & 2, the Viet Nam War (and the Cold War in general), the war of 1812, the American Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the Boer Wars.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">moas wars ar due to religion</div></div>
This is simply not true Examples:
- the War in Iraq
- the Vietnam War
- The Korean War
- World War II
- World War I
- Austro-Hungarian
- Spanish American War
- Napoleonic Wars
- War of 1812
- Battle of the Plains of Arbraham
- 100 Year War
....for starters. Most wars are due to economic factors, power hungry peeps, egos and greed.
I would venture to say that there are many low level conflicts taking place all over the world today that have nothing to do with religion, more to do with territory, politics, drug trafficking and power.
Take JA for instance. One could argue that there are many "wars" going on in Jamaica. There are many months in which more people die violently in Jamaica than in Kabul where a more traditional war is taking place.
With an immense collection of facts, photos, names and dates, Manhattan proves that the Vietnam War began as a religious conflict. He shows how America was manipulated into supporting Catholic oppression in Vietnam supposedly to fight communism.
Manhattan explains:
*
How religious pamphlets and radio broadcasts convinced one million Catholics to leave North Vietnam and live under Catholic rule in the South, overwhelming the Buddhists.
*
How brutal persecution of Vietnamese Buddhists led to rioting and suicides by fire in the streets.
*
Why the reports of what was really happening, written by American military and civil advisers, failed to reach the U.S. President.
*
Why the project backfired, and as U.S. soldiers continued to die, the Vatican made a secret deal with Ho Chi Minh.
