True. That's why I stated in the beginning that *almost* all the wars happened because of religion.
To me, the implication is that all wars are started over cultural and economic matters for which things like skin color or religion become more or less incidental. There always have been, and always will be, a plethora of things around which people can choose to define themselves and others.

That's why despite your slight qualification, I felt the need to point out how completely irrelevant the apparent theme of the song is given what we now know about secularism. Being secular in and of itself can become merely one more thing that causes people to feel themselves somehow set apart and superior, leading them to dehumanize others and blame them for, among other things, "almost all the wars."
