Why do more people die at the hands of governments than anything else?

Huh... I always though it was natural death (like cancer or heart attacks).

But, it's because governments have power to do such things, and some of them use it.

well, of course governments have the really big guns. I think on the average day cancer and heart attacks take more lives though.

I'm as sure as I can be, they don't... Here in the United States, I'm sure, that's the case...

Historically speaking, most wars, are over religion... That's one of the major reasons, I'm in favor of freedom of religion, or none at all,, in this country...

They don't. Your argument is invalid.
