there's the image I wanted.

I can honestly say that in the history of both of the "religions" I have studied, Celtic and Germanic pre-christian heathenism, there have been no wars over their gods or their religions because the heathens were smart enough to realize that they were all the same, which is why you see many religions trading gods, for example; the greeks imported many, many foreign deities.

hell you want to go into how litte the heathens fought wars over their faith, in Iceland when they voted on converting to christianity, it was a pagan who decided that it would be best if Iceland embraced christianity, as long as they let the heathens practice in secrecy without fear.

Infact the only time I can remember nations fighting over gods or god, is when it involved monotheisim, not just judiasm, islam, and christinaity, but other monotheistic cults as well, look at egypt with Atenism and Amenism.

So it seems that the only time wars are fought in the name of god is when it involves a monotheistic religion trying to opress an indigenous religion that involves communal practices and female worship

You can even look at it in a modern light, which religions are at war? only the three big "my version of the same god is better".

do you see hindus or buddhists, or taoists, or shinto, or native american religions waging war?
