The revolutionary war we wanted to keep our stuff and the british wanted their stuff back.
World War II Hitler wanted everybody's stuff.
The civil war the south didn't want to free their stuff (slaves were property so technically they're stuff)
The trojan war someone wanted to get themselves a piece of someone else's Stuff.
It all boils down to either trying to keep your stuff or having someone else trying to take your stuff.
Its just that sometimes religion is a convenient excuse....

Religion was used as the "convenient excuse" in EVERY single instance above other than the American Civil War.It was fought over states' rights.Most southerners couldn't afford slaves never mind land.It became a religious issue after the Emancipation Proclamation was introduced.Most believed slavery was against gods' ideals.Simply put...enslaving your fellow man is just wrong it has nothing to do with religion its JUST WRONG.
War has never been about stuff.Its about imposing one's beliefs on another.
