im not blaming religion for wars, just religion is used by the leaders as an excuse for wars,
typically for some political purpose. (carrying on from the sentence in the original post.)
It's been that way for about 1000 years at least.

This is very true
But I'm sure all those wars would have still happened if religion didn't exist.

This.
If we didn't have any religion we'd still find things to fight over. If we were all the same colour and sex we'd still find things to kill each other over.
Not that I don't think all religion is a bag of wank, mind.
