It is challenging to quantify the exact percentage of wars directly caused by religion versus other factors like expansionism or geopolitics. However, history indicates that various motivations, including religion, have contributed to conflicts throughout the centuries. The underlying causes of wars are often complex and multifaceted, making it difficult to attribute them solely to one factor.
