Re: SPLIT: 60 years after German KL Auchwitz-Birkenau

I do not consider myself an historian by any stretch, but here is my two cents worth: Industry may benefit from war but it is usually religion that starts them. I am not saying the Church or the chosen leader of a particular religion but rather the followers belief that they are right and others must conform to their beliefs. I believe even WWII had a lot more religion in it than Hitler's view of the Jewish religion. The Middle Eastern Theatre and the African Theatre pitted sects against each other. I would count the Korean and Vietnam Wars in the sense that Communism eliminates religion.
