I don't know if the correlation is that strong, there's definitely other factors that come into play when it comes to war, lower standards of living and poverty and it's often geopolitical. There's different nuances to these things for sure.

Goes without saying. Is Russia or Ukraine the most religious no but they are far more religious to Japan, Canada or Norway and that's the point I was trying to make.

Putin is a hard-core christian who attributes religion to his modus operandi
The Russian orthodox church literally declared holy war on Ukraine.

I'd like to argue with you but unfortunately I already agree with most of what you say. However there are certainly many moderates in every religion. A lot of other ideologies can get propagandized and turned into a us vs them narrative. The soviets were hardcore atheists and look at what they did. Some of the largest famines and deportations were carried out under their rule. The religious were heavily ridiculed.

That's communism. Which is just disguised dictatorship.
And as you know dictators irrespective if they are religious or non religious do the most harm period.

If Stalin or Mao were religious they would of wiped out even more people imo.

Anyhow we seem to be drifting away from the main topic.

Drifting?
You already took the trip, came back and left AGAIN but now you're stranded on Gilligan's island trying to find home again.

It was just a 3 paragraph tour.
