I think religion can be a cause for violence. But it by no means the only cause. The "New Atheists" often over simplify issues involving violence and religion by blaming religion as the sole cause. I think religion is often the justification but not the original cause. Sometimes I do think it's at least the large part of the cause. There's never just one cause to complicated things like wars.
