Why do various religions cause wars?

The more I look into religious wars, the more I find that the religions involved are not the cause, rather it is generally a person who comes to power or popularity who abuses the teachings of that religion to persecute those of another faith for his or her own gain. All major religions preach peace, but most have had someone in authority corrupt the religion and lead followers astray to battle their "inferior" neighbors of a different faith.
