Religion provides yet another "difference" between the sides in the conflict. The side will use anything they can to make themselve seem different from each other. If we took away religion, one of the biggest differentiators, then we might be a step closer to peace.
Trust me I have seen first hand how religion is used to justify all sorts of nastiness.
