Is Religion the cause of war?

I'm doing a research paper on whether or not religion is the cause of war, and I'm not looking for anyone to answer the question for me; I just need some help in thinking about the type's of question that I should ask and look into while researching this topic, basically I need help in coming up with some starbursting ideas, and in case people don't know what it means. Starbursting is a form of brainstorming that focuses on generating questions rather than answers. So basically can anyone help me generate questions when concerning "Religion is the cause of war" please help.

Well it can be in some cases but if this is for school are you allowed to use the Internet and I wouldn't use the Internet for that you aren't learning@ben220201

Look into the possibility of a flaw in human thinking about survival. There are four levels of survival: (1) Your self, (2) Your family and immediate circle of friends, (3) Your religion and nationality and (4) All of mankind. People are willing to fight in wars because they consider their religion and nationality important enough to kill other human beings on it's behalf. Is that a flaw? What if survival of human life was a higher priority than survival of your religion or nation? What if the political and religious leaders declared war and nobody showed up to fight?

My views about war: I. Religlion
II. Greed/power
III. Land
IV. Hate
V. Desire for their other beliefs

Here are some ideas you can research that relate to causes of war

Religeon definately is a major cause of war. Certainly not the only cause but still a big one. People make war because of many different reasons, two of them being religeous differences, and because something in their religion tells them to. People get influence from their religeon. Some good (like motivation to do good things to others), and some bad (like giving a bad impression of a race or culture that can sometimes lead to war). Unfortunately I cannot think of any questions to ask for you, but I hope that this will be good.
