Imagine a world without faith or religion.

36. they are religious in nature in the sense that

we have given those specific names to religious based wars fought for reasons that could as easily be not religious.

The Crusades were primarily fought to recover Christian holy lands from Muslim invaders.

Now just switch that to recovering ancient home lands of the Shibari people from the interloping Mufasa people and you'd have the same thing.

A Pogrom is deliberate persecution of a religious OR ethnic group. So that one is not necessarily even "religious in nature."

Then add in that as someone posted below the VAST majority of wars have been fought for non-religious reasons and sorry but I don't get the argument that either type of conflict would have not come into be or wars would have less vehemence or unending enmity.

Race, ethnicity, pure rivalry. The French and English were fighting from 1337 on and off until 1453...then more wars followed all the way up to 1815. Territory and power fueled those wars much more than religion did. The Huns, Alexander, Genghis Khan, the Cold War, the two WWs, on and on...brutal, long, bloody, wars fought over enduring rivalries or arguably even worse, constantly switching power alliances in some cases.

We'd have had almost as many wars with just as much cruelty.

And on Jews, certainly much of the enmity was either religious-based or cloaked in religion, but neither Hitler nor Stalin did their anti-Jew pogroms because of any real religious reasons.
