Often, if you look at many wars in the past, they were caused by religious disputes. (The crusades, World War II) Another motivation is for land and power. (The American Revolution, Mexican War) People hate each other when they are competing for the same prize. It is a normal aspect of the destructive avaricious human nature. Human beings have always been competing with each other to attain the status of Alpha or Omega. The competition takes place among siblings, workers, lovers, friends, athletes etc. This instinctive characteristic of life becomes dangerous when it is driven by a need for survival or by greed. When a competing religion threatens the economic control of another, persecution and terrorism is used to destroy the competition. Religion has been used as a tool to maintain political dominance of the world order. The main causes of conflict are prejudice and greed that has always existed as an integral part of humanity and it is not confined to one group, it exists wherever egocentric megalomaniacs congregate.
