When christians are fighting against christians in wars and there are religious leaders on both sides leading their men in prayer to the same god, which side do you think he is on.

God is on the right side - everyone else is wrong. Christians are supposed to be one body, but we fail. Thankfully, God forgives us when we do.
The wars that are fought in Christ's name are not necessarily of God. Many profess to be Christian, and are not. Many use His Name to further their own agenda - not God's.
The Spanish Inquisition was NOT what God wanted - it was people who used God's name to further their own greed and ambition.

It is true that man has used religion for political gain. Nazi Germany had "God with us" engraved in German on the belts of Nazi soldiers. America said, "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition." The law may even allow you to start the Christian Nazi Party, if you so desire. You can become a "reverend" for a few dollars through the tabloid classifieds and then further your political agenda with the world’s blessing, no matter how much it smears the name of Christ.
Jesus tells us in John 16:2,3 that there will be some who, in their error, commit atrocities and murder in the name of God: "The time is coming that whosoever kills you will think that he does God service." However, He informs us that these are not true believers: "And these things will they do to you, because they have not known the Father, nor me." (See also 1 John 3:15.)
Jesus told His followers to love their enemies. So if a man puts a knife into someone’s back in the name of Christianity, something obviously isn’t right. If we human beings can detect it, how much more will God? He will deal with it on Judgment Day.
"I know that the Lord is always on the side of right. But it is my constant
anxiety and prayer that I—and this nation—should be on the Lord’s side."
-Abraham Lincoln

God is on the side of Faith, Justice, and the Christian Way.
Or, perhaps more accurately, are we on God's side?

When you invent the god, you decide whose side he's on. Then you war to see who's right.
Ah religion, is there nothing it cannot destroy.

in that situation which His children are unkind, i believe He would punish both and educate them.
how come the children of the God of love hate one another?
maybe this question does not make sense.
