Why is this thread even relevant to international conflict or geopolitics? The last religious war ended in 1648, since that time the international order has been defined by nation-states (first empires then individual states). Topics on religion or non-religion are interesting, but there are plenty of boards that promote those topics; both atheist and religious. QUOTE]

The Thirty Years' War was fought between 1618 and 1648, principally on the territory of today's Germany, and involved most of the major European powers. Beginning as a religious conflict between Protestants and Catholics in the Holy Roman Empire, it gradually developed into a general war involving much of Europe, for reasons not necessarily related to religion

is International conflict, however a lot of conflict has been started by or caused by "Religion", hence the posts
