"Religion is not basically responsible for war, but the people who are responsible for war recognize that if they can push the right buttons, and get religious people on board, that once a person's emotions are involved in it, and they believe they're doing the right thing that just thing, they will kill and be killed in the name of what they believe to be their faith.

In reality, they're doing something that is on behalf of the collective group they come from, and in particular, in a class society in which we live today, the particular class that is deciding on the war."
