It should also be mentioned that twentyfirst century has started out with extremist religion as root cause of world strife, so suggesting that as the world becomes more secular, wars or conflicts are less religious is simply untrue.

The Chinese Civil War was as secular as can be, Mao's reign (not sure why this is listed as it's not really a war) was just idiocy but not religious, and The Warlord and Nationalist era listed could theoretically be not secular because I believe a couple were Christian warlords (one baptised people with a fire hose or something like that).
