I don't necessarily mean in the last 50 years or so, but from early history all the way to right now. Millions upon millions killed in the name of Islam, Christianity or whatever, and now it's not much different: there's conflict and before people can breath, religion is thrown into the mix as one of the reasons to make things worse.

 

I'm realistic enough to know the world is never going to see full peace, but as long as any kind of religion is around, that chance is even tinier.

Think you'll find that atheists, although they arrived late to the party, have comfortably beaten even the most bigoted of believers for mass murder.  Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao & Pol Pot have all set records that hopefully will never be broken.

There are unconfirmed reports that Abdul Rauf, mastermind of IC-814 Hijack and brother of Jaish leader Masood Azhar was neutralized in Operation Sindoor. India had to release Masood Azhar in exchange of the hostages. Azhar is a dreaded terrorist involved in Indian Parliament attack and many many more terrorist attacks in India. He was also behind the brutal assassination of Daniel Pearl.

Pakistan tried attacking India yesterday night. We weakened their Air Defence System in retaliation. Now, Pakistan has again attacked Indian cities. We will respond.

People like to blame religion, or a lack thereof, on conflict. (India vs Pakistan, Gaza), but actually some of the root causes are even more fundamental. The Kashmir region supplies a significant amount of water to both India and Pakistan, and as most people are aware, water is life. Both sides can dance around the bush blaming each other for terrorism, escalating conflict or religious persecution, but resources are the driving factor in this conflict, even if nobody want to admit it. 

 

That is why it is vitally important that the fighting ceases, and significant international and diplomatic pressure is placed on both sides to revise the Indus Waters Treaty (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indus_Waters_Treaty), because the loss of life from drought, will be far more significant than successive border skirmishes and missile attacks we have seen currently.

Pakistan was given 70% of the water of Indus River Basin. We didn't suspend the treaty even in 65 or 71. Yet Pakistan continues to attack India. Resources are not the driving force of the conflict. Pakistan hates India because it sees itself as successor state of Mughals.
