I read and hear this claim all the time, even though it is completely untrue.

I would just like to know why people make this claim.

That's true of all religions if you're living in the dark ages.

But you are correct, religion being the cause of most wars and death is a myth.
When in fact secular or atheist governments have been responsible for the most wars and death....Stalins Russia, Mao's China, Pol Pot, Japan and its atrocities, Idi Amin.

Islam is the only major threat today. A religion to have not evolved from the dark ages, continuing to literally cling to its age old tenets. They still stone women.
As the world becomes more and more secular, Islam is growing.
