I partially agree .

There is no evidence that religion ( whatever is meant by "religion" ) is the cause of all wars .

WW1 and WW2 were not caused by "religion" any more than the Falklands War was caused by "religion" .

Though the English Civil War and the Crusades were examples of wars partly promoted and sustained by "religion" .
