By 'Religious War' I mean a war where any other consideration, such as territory, culture, economics or race are either secondary or equal to Religion in the purported or actual reason for the conflict.
A follow up to this question is: is a population that espouses a monotheistic religion more prone to wage war over religion than non-monotheistic populations?
I am not interested in partisan answers, and I hope some theologians, historians, and other academicians may help shed some light on this.
