You're absolutely right about wars and religion. I think that has more to do with leaders (mis)using religion to whip up nationalistic fervor than with the religion itself. For instance: If the religious factor were the only thing removed from the Northern Ireland equation, would they still fight?
Wait a minute Bill!!!
Is this a TRICK QUESTION???!!! 
OF COURSE they'd STILL FIGHT!!! 
We're talkin' IRISHMEN here!!!! 
Cheers, Dwight (I watched one of them there Hurling games telecast live from Dublin once and a freakin' "HOCKEY GAME" broke out about every FIVE FRIGGIN' MINUTES and I believe they were ALL Catholics out there on that field that day) 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
