Oh, I don't think religion is the
only thing, but it's definitely a factor - and more than it would be here - at least the "here" of Europe / America post 1750 or so - which is not that long ago.
Of course, if you mean it's
only power and influence, I'd disagree pretty strongly - I don't think it's
only anything - but a stew (or confluence, if you prefer that image)
I do find myself wondering if there would be as many potential suicide bombers if there
wasn't anything religious going on...
