"Is Religion the Cause of Most Wars?"

You've probably heard the claim that most wars have been caused by religion. I found this short article over at the Stand to Reason Blog to be helpful in responding to that claim.

One helpful thing to ask of the person who brings this or any other major claim is, "How did you come to that conclusion?" In otherwords, if they make a big claim, the burden of proof is on them. So let them bring evidence and don't immediately take the role of defending against an unsubstantiated claim. Of course, it is helpful to do your research and have a ready defense.
