The Crusades is the obvious answer to this question. However other wars were fought between Catholics and Protestants. Most notably the The Thirty Years War (1618-1648) fought between states in the Holy Roman Empire (primarily today's Germany). The French also fought a series of religious wars in the 16th century between Catholics and Protestants.
It's not hard to justify the arguement that today's War in Iraq is a religious war also.

Crusades
various Muslim ones into Africa, Spain, Eurasia (don't know the names)
Ferdinand & Isabella's push into the last of the Moorish territory in the late 1400s, early 1500s
30 Years War
war for Dutch independence (16th c.)
current terrorist (at least that's what we call 'em--I think those on the other side call it a holy war) actions
Israel against whoever--while mostly for the right of the nation to exist where it is, some of the rationale is religious
basically any conflict in Europe with religious significance from about 1520 on. Can't think of many Jewish ones with religious overtones outside of the Bible at the moment.

Dozens of wars
All the conquests of Islam- from Ethiopia to the borders of Congo, from the gates of Vienna to China and Spain
about half of the conquests of Christianity, and all the re-conquests of Christianity
don't forget Baal, Sviatovid and other - lesser known - monotheistic gods. their followers also wreaked havoc in their own time
