I think there is an interesting kernal of debate inside the OP. I think that focusing on religion is way too narrow.
There are all sorts of ways we can demonize the Other and justify killing them.
For example the Hutus and Tootsies were tribal rather religious, the US and Soviet Union was ideological rather than religious.
This could go on but I think you see my point.
In most cases, disputes come down to who resources (land, power, capitol, mineral deposits, etc.). Religion and ideology are just lenses through which we can "rationalize" dispute.
