I don't think so.
Divided, hateful, intolerant people cause war. They may decide to use religion as their excuse.

Technically, no religions start those things. But the followers of Abraham (Hebrew, Christianity, Islam) have quite a history for all of those things, both between each others and also any other faiths. Then again, there are radicals to be found within any group but most people forget that the Abraham faiths were born of bloodshed.

Yes, some religions, more or so cults, are quite content on trying to cause a race war or the apocalypse. In particular, i would like to mention the Japanese apocalyptic cult, "Aum". Aum was responsible for the nerve gas attacks on Tokyo subways.

People start wars. Since people are in all different forms of Institutions then it's safe to say that any institution can start wars. If a Chef rises up to be a leader and starts a war, is it safe then to say that all cooking schools start wars?

If it don't cause division, hatred, intolerance, and war, then it ain't a real religion.
