    Also:

    - not believing in something without evidence allows wars to be waged

    - believing in something with evidence allows wars to be waged

    - not believing in something with evidence allows wars to be waged

    So:

    believing or not believing

    with or without evidence

    allows wars to be waged

    because

    these factors are not relevant to what allows wars to be waged.

    Similarly: writing with your left hand allows wars to be waged.

    As the Virgin Mary has told us, war is a punishment sent by God for the sins of humanity. However, such punishments can be averted if enough people do penance and reform their lives.

    Typically there is plenty of fighting over things known. It sounds like you are looking for a confirmation bias.

    Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's preexisting beliefs or hypotheses.[1] It is a type of cognitive bias and a systematic error of inductive reasoning. People display this bias when they gather or remember information selectively, or when they interpret it in a biased way. The effect is stronger for desired outcomes, emotionally charged issues, and for deeply entrenched-beliefs.

    No. Most wars are waged over resources, others over human rights. Some may use a peoples belief in order to rally the morality of the troops, but even the Holy Crusades were not really being fought because of religious belief.
