Right, because trusting in a deity of some sort is actually going to relieve such tensions, or that a deity picked a side in a war and led it to victory - it is much easier to understand the actual workings of the world this way by simplifying it in this manner, after all. These are just more good reasons to dismiss religion as idealistic nonsense (especially when it comes to history) because it relies on a form of the Great Man Theory of history, rather than an scientific interpretation that observes objective social phenomena.
