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

Like I said the Thirty Years' War was the last "religious war", and the Treaty(ies) of Westphalia changed the international order; giving states that whole internal sovereignty thing So my confusion arises from is this thread related in anyway to those religious wars of the past (the Crusades, or the 100 year period between Martin Luther's 95 theses and the outbreak of the 30 Years' War if one were to look at specific Christian wars), or is it primarily focused on the merits or demerits of belief in the Bible?
