:
do you ever think religion is just another way to divide people? no offense to people who are religious
I think people are already divided and have an instinct for violence and wars. Religion is merely an excuse.

:
I don't think it, I know it. Israel and Palestina anyone? Thats a prime example.
That's a remarkably naive statement. The Israel/Palestine issue is over territory, not religion. Israel has good relations with several Muslim countries (Jordan, Turkey, Egypt to some extent and several North-African nations). Also, it should be noted that Jews and Muslims were very close up until nationalistic Zionism grew as a movement in the second half of the 19th century. Jews were generally better treated in Muslim countries than in Christian ones, the Golden Age of Spain being the best example.
