Imagine a world without faith or religion.

A war of Christians from Western Europe, who never held the land themselves, to "recover" it from Muslims who took it in a religious war from different Christians to begin with somehow would have happened anyway? How does an English monarch "recover" land neither he nor his ancestors held to begin with EXCEPT by calling them 'Christian."

I don't know who the Shibari and Mufasa are. Search of Shibari turns up a bondage technique and Mufasa is a character from the Lion King. Never said there would be no other wars for no other reasons.

Study the history, etymology and most common usage of pogrom and you'll get a different answer. The first thing called a pogrom was in Odessa in 1871, against Jews, during HOLY WEEK. But I guess without religion, people would have found some other week to randomly attack their culturally and ethnically similar neighbors.

Hitler did not engage in religious persecution of Jews? That's a new one on me. Hard to see how that even works without religion being at the heart of it, even if he had other excuses. But Jews are used to persecution for all sorts of reasons other than being Jewish. So have at that one. It would be joke if it weren't so tragic.

Stalin did not, so far as I know engage in pogroms. He did move lots of people around, shoot and starve many but pogroms were really more of Tsarist thing.
