That is a good question. I have thought a lot about it. I think our nature is to kill easily, as we needed to, to survive. Maybe even take pleasure out of it. Make the kill you eat! Roman colosseums. So our killing is a hangover from those days in the wild. Primitive religions, are sort of an illogical totally contrived ornament attached to the killing, but neither responsible for it, or able to prevent it. Religion just intermingles with the insanity of instinct. Written language and moveable type brought our brains to the fore. And that is where we are now. Instinctual script is battling with newly developed brains. <<The question then becomes, is religion just a proxy, and would people fight anyway, or do they fight more often because of religion. I don't think there is any way to prove this out very well. It's not like you can run history all over again and figure out what it would look like without religion.
