unfortunately most wars are waged based on religion. look at the bible and the battles fought in the name of god. how its ok to sacrifice some for the better good or that they don't believe the same. how christ was sarificed by the romans to show their strength in their own religon. men will use any excuse to make their wars especially religion.

Whenever some opportunist found it would be useful. Consider Nero blaming the burning of Rome on a religious sect. It has happened as long as humans need an excuse to do what they feel like doing. The fault is not religion, but men who use it wrongly.

The bloodiest wars in history are ideological/religious ones. One of the cruelest times were the Crusades (1095-1291), waged by Christian Europe and sanctioned by the Pope.
