War? The two greatest wars on Earth to ever be fought, taking more lives than all wars before them -- combined -- have been fought for completely non-religious reasons. They spurred the development of ever more deadlier weapons, ones that are able to kill on a mass scale -- ones that can even end the world.
If it weren't religion, the void would be filled by something else. It's an attempt to answer the exact same questions we are trying to answer today through more modern means. Remove it by some imaginary means in your head, and that doesn't mean the Roman Empire would have suddenly, and naturally, morphed into a technocracy.
