More on atheism, religion, & war

Anthony Sacramone reviews another critique of the new atheism, “The Irrational Atheist” by Vox Day.  That author deals with the slur that religion has caused most of the world’s wars by actually counting them:

Day found 123 wars that could validly be claimed to have religion at their heart—a grand total of 6.98 percent of all wars fought. “It’s also interesting to note that more than half of these religious wars, sixty-six in all, were waged by Islamic nations,” Day offers as an aside.
