The church is not spreading the virus, the people are spreading the virus by the behaviour and lifestyle they choose.

And the RCC is opposing the only hope most of those people have.

You are right. People would still be fighting even in the absense of religion. Religion does set itself up as a mechanism for preventing such things. You know, a force for peace and love and such like. But that simply isn't true.

Actually, US politics runs on religion. That is, politicians base campaigns on what are fundamentally religious issues and/or disguise the real issues as religious issues in order to milk the church-goers. The whole system is a really big mess, so we make a lot of bombs.
