the wars are started for political reasons over who gets to rule.

But the religious leaders pray the boys into the trenches.

Usually it is over money and land but they use religion and no religion is sacred and they do not kill each other.

they all kill each other.

ww1 & ww2 it was christians killing christians, for political reasons.

then Korea was an all buddhist country that was split and each side killed the other in brutal wars. Then Vietnam was Buddhist and they did the same thing. During that time more christians were killed trying to keep buddhists from killing each other.

More Buddhists are killed by other Buddhists.

Just as today more muslims are killed by other muslims.

The Christians keep getting killed by trying to act as referee's.

In Ireland Catholic killed Protestant and right now in Thailand buddhists are killing each other again.

In africa the Islamic forces are exterminating the africans, feeling justified because they are other religions. But some are muslims and it seems to make little difference to them they still kill them to.

Hindus have the super rich and the super poor and the poor are treated as lower caste and they simply starve to death.

They kill wives to get another dowry from another family. By setting them on fire and burning them up. Even though they have fewer wars they are the most brutal to their own people on a daily basis.

The American Civil War: The coexistence of a slave-owning South with an increasingly anti-slavery North made conflict likely, if not inevitable. Lincoln did not propose federal laws against slavery where it already existed, but he had, in his 1858 House Divided Speech, expressed a desire to "arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction." Much of the political battle in the 1850s focused on the expansion of slavery into the newly created territories. All of the organized territories were likely to become free-soil states, which increased the Southern movement toward secession. Both North and South assumed that if slavery could not expand it would wither and die.

Southern fears of losing control of the federal government to antislavery forces, and Northern resentment of the influence that the Slave Power already wielded in government, brought the crisis to a head in the late 1850s. Sectional disagreements over the morality of slavery, the scope of democracy and the economic merits of free labor vs. slave plantations caused the Whig and "Know-Nothing" parties to collapse, and new ones to arise (the Free Soil Party in 1848, the Republicans in 1854, the Constitutional Union in 1860). In 1860, the last remaining national political party, the Democratic Party, split along sectional lines.

World War I: The immediate or proximate cause of war was the assassination on 28 June 1914 of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, by Gavrilo Princip, a Serbian nationalist. Austria-Hungary's resulting demands against the Kingdom of Serbia activated a sequence of alliances. Within weeks the major European powers were at war; their global empires meant that the conflict soon spread worldwide.

World War II: In the aftermath of World War I, a defeated Germany signed the Treaty of Versailles. This caused Germany to lose around 14% of its territory, prohibited the annexation of other states, limited the size of the German armed forces and imposed massive reparations. Russia's civil war led to the creation of the Soviet Union which soon was under the control of Joseph Stalin. In Italy, Benito Mussolini seized power as a fascist dictator promising to create a "New Roman Empire." The Kuomintang (KMT) party in China launched a unification campaign against regional warlords and nominally unified China in the mid-1920s, but was soon embroiled in a civil war against its former Chinese communist allies. In 1931, an increasingly militaristic Japanese Empire, which had long sought influence in Chinaas the first step of its right to rule Asia, used the Mukden Incident as justification to invade Manchuria; the two nations then fought several small conflicts, in Shanghai, Rehe and Hebei until the Tanggu Truce in 1933. Afterwards Chinese volunteer forces continued the resistance to Japanese aggression in Manchuria, and Chahar and Suiyuan

And so on, and so on... Religion might be a factor, but human nature is the only REAL reason it all occurs.

World War I was caused largely by naval competition between the United Kingdom and the German Empire, a series of entangling alliances between various continental powers, and colonialism in Africa. To the point I'm sure you are trying to make, however, there have been so many wars caused directly by religion throughout history, and many more who had religion as an underlying cause. Certainly not all of them were so, however.
