That's simplistic rhetoric. In ancient times, almost every group was 
identified by a religious belief,so every conflict had a religious 
element - but they were chiefly battles for land and resources.

In modern times, such as the past century, most killing was under the 
auspices of regimes that were hostile to religion, as evidenced by your 
quotation of Karl Marx.

The assumption behind this "religion kills" position is that "lack of 
religion brings peace", and that's just not so.

In a comparative sense, he occupies a position comparable to a Muslim 
Mullah -  but not all Mullahs preach holy war, nor do most Christian 
preachers.
