The number of wars and genocides that have resulted from arguing over whose god is the right one dwarfs all other ills.

Get that fixed and then maybe I’ll listen.

the disagreement over holy matters is not typically the cause of violence, just a convenient uniform to wear to tell ally from enemy

Yea, I dislike that frequent atheist rejoinder cuz it totally misses the point; religion is concomitant and merely used as a pretense. Which I equally dislike, I wish there were more transparency about one's innate will to dominate rather than masquerading behind fictitious ideological claims.

Someone added it up to find atheists and non-religious wars are the majority:

In another article, America was rated as the most Christian with the most missionaries. Yet, it’s had hardly any wars motivated by religion. They’re usually about the selfish motivations of non-Christian worldviews.

Whereas, Communists have killed tens of millions of people, cultural Marxism is spreading in universities, and that should worry people. You might want to cite liberal beliefs and atheism as top killers in future comments.
