Very different. Wars do not go on for generations over sports teams or over a female.

Oh. So if it goes on for a generation, it’s the fault of the purported excuse for the war. If it doesn’t last as long, the excuse is a poor pretext.

Forgive my skepticism, but that feels…arbitrary.

Mind you, i’m not saying that there are NO wars that we can lay at the foot of Religion. I’m just saying that it’s not a philosophical exercise that we do with clarity, for the most part.
