Sometimes, someone says something on X that's just begging to get ratioed and go viral. Such is the case with one user who -- rather smugly -- asked users to 'name a war that wasn't based on religion.'
3.4 million views and check out that ratio.
Wowza.
In case you were wondering, here's some wars not fought in the name of religion (spoiler alert, there are many), and all the snark he earned:
Atheism is a religion pal.

Yep.
Communism = atheist. Communism is the most deadly movement in world history.

Actually the war of reproductive “rights” against the unborn has killed more than all wars combined by multiples in just the last century.
No lies detected.
That ratio though, lol.

It's beautiful.
Less that 11% of all wars are religious, and most of those are Islamic wars. The overwhelming majority of wars happen for the usual reasons of territory, and resources.

This is going so badly for him. LOL.
The overwhelming vast majority of all wars across all of human history
