Rock Star Tom Petty:
Quote:
But while he’s tackling controversial subject matter, Petty told Catholics he respects whatever faith they want to have, but that he wouldn’t personally continue supporting a church that actively covered up crime.
“Catholics, don’t write me. I’m fine with whatever religion you want to have, but it can’t tell anybody it’s OK to kill people, and it can’t abuse children systematically for God knows how many years,” he told Billboard. “If I was in a club, and I found out that there had been generations of people abusing children, and then that club was covering that up, I would quit the club.”
Speaking of religion more generally, Petty told Billboard that “it seems … to be at the base of all wars.”
“I’ve nothing against defending yourself, but I don’t think, spiritually speaking, that there’s any conception of God that should be telling you to be violent,” he continued. “It seems to me that no one’s got Christ more wrong than the Christians.”

While he was specifically talking about Catholics, in general he blames "religion" for wars.
We always here this from the world.
Can anyone name what wars were started by Christians?
