GODLESSNESS IS THE NO. 1 CAUSE OF WAR- Fr. Mitch Pacwa, S.J. has talked about the following on EWTN-TV: The Myth that Religion is the Number 1 Cause of War by Robin Schumacher edited by Matt Slick. Atheists and secular humanists consistently make the claim that religion is the #1 cause of violence and war throughout the history of mankind…. All faiths combined –minus Islam– have caused less than 4% of all of humanity’s wars and violent conflicts.
Non-Religious Dictator Lives Lost

- Adolf Hitler – 20,946,000
- Chiang Kai-shek – 10,214,000
- Vladimir Lenin – 4,017,000
- Hideki Tojo – 3,990,000

Add to that the Chinese and North Koreans. The historical evidence is quite clear: Religion is not the #1 cause of war. In the end, the evidence shows that some instructors and others who oppose religion are quite wrong.
