Most of the atrocities in the world are driven by greed, popular religions do not advocate for greed or bad actions directly. Religions especially in the west become a tool for rulers and authorities to control people but there never was anything religious about tyrants and dictators to begin with if not the subjugation to their power.

I think another aspect is removing corporate interests in the area and general process of war.

• first there's the arms companies that keep funneling weapons into the area. Selling the "insurance" for the fire that keeps coming through. A fire fuelled by what they sell.

• Then there's the companies that come in and "rebuild" after the devastation. Amazing how their contracts have been part of the aid packages negotiated with Ukraine already.

• Then there's the fossil fuel rights which make it worth superpowers picking sides and putting boots on the ground to "peace keep".

The whole thing is fuelled by megacorporations wanting their slice of the pie, and not caring about the human cost. All of them are so big that they basically set government policy in the west anyhow, and none of them give a shit about which god or prophet anyone follows.

This.
