Nazism used atheism to justify killing jews dude. They used "survival of the fittest" explanations and "superior race" ideals. Hitler infact was a huge fan of Nietzche, whome I believe was an adamant atheist.

Anyway, religion has hardly been the cause in any situation save where religion was heavily culture based. Even this war with Iraq is only a religious war to a small group of terrorists. To the rest of the world it's simply one side that happens to be christian, and the other side that happens to be muslim.

I would even propose that the crusades had a lot to do with muslims bringing their culture so bluntly into Europeane-christian society. (the point is that it's a cultural difference rather than a religious difference)
