yes - the notion that all war would disappear in the absence of religion is absurd - but the thought process is not flawed. Despite what you may have heard on Fox news, the world's religions have been at war pretty much throughout all of time, one way or another. Theology is not the ONLY reason for war - I'm not saying that at all. But I DO think that there would be substantially less wars without religion and religious undertones. ESPECIALLY in other countries with more clearly defined religious-based governments and societies - countries in which people COULD be motivated to go to war by religion (hate to cliche it here, but ...jihad anyone?). So, while I do understand the offensiveness here, taking it so personally is a little narrow-minded. No need to shut down a thread just because you don't agree with it or you are offended by it...I don't think it's intentionally offensive...
