They're killing each other over land. Gods just get the rabble on board so the wealthy can seize more wealth.

At this point I think outright nationalism/racism rather than religion

Is there a difference for an ethno-religious state?

Nationalism - the conviction that your country is best simply because you were born there

More like atheists are one of the people being killed.

Hell, they'll gang up and kill us first any chance they get.

Atheists aren't exactly immune to the killing either. The Soviet Union has the elimination of organised religion as one of it's goals. I think humans just seem to like killing other humans and differences in beliefs is a handy excuse.

The same god even. The violent schisms within the insane Abrahamic cult have been going on for thousands of years and killed millions.

Agnostics too!
