Huh? Did you leave out a word, I don't understand.
Are you implying that the Christian belief base of the US is the trigger for sending us to war? Or that religious beliefs in general trigger wars?
On the surface I'd agree with you, that religion has been one of the greatest offenders of war mongering since the dawn of time... but upon more thought, I think religion is really more of an excuse or a means to motivate a people to war, and not the actual cause of the war. Really, war is driven by profit, be it conquest of territory, opening of trade, elimination of competition, etc. Religion is just a great tool for to make your soldiers willing to fight to their last man.
