I'm not trying to discuss Nietzsche here, though I'd like to do that sometime aswell.
My point being, religion may not be the cause of all war (but has a part in that aswell), but the creator of the "us & them" (good & evil) attitude, which itself is the reason for most wars. Discuss...

You know but what you’ve been taught and shown. Man is war like and some just happened to be religious. A Godless world would be but political dictates arisen from the animal kingdom. (The biggest biker dude would have what small amount of pleasure that may exist.)
