The Fascists were originally anti- clerical, but softened that position for the sake of popular support. The Nazis were anti- Christian, but again were afraid to come out explicitly. The communist regimes, of course, were all atheistic. Only Imperial Japan, by virtue of the militaristic interpretation of Shinto that had developed, doesn't altogether fit on the list.
By the way, most of the people known to have aided Jews escaping the Holocaust were believing Christians.

Religions are rarely the only source of conflicts
I agree that it is not the religion that is the source. The source in Yugoslavia is that Milosevich is a very bad man who uses whatever excuse he can to gain power. Religion forms a badge to separate people, it is effective as a badge because the administrators of these religions actively try to keep them from changing, thats just the nature of religion. And clear distinctions between people are the nature of conflict.
