And all the people that you made in your image
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can't make opinions meet about God
I can't believe in you

fwiw, i think wars are actually fought over resources.
religion is just how the war gets sold to the masses.

They just make killing people far more efficient.

Substitute “religion” for “guns” and the same is true.
