Atheists deal in absolutes as well "there is no heaven, there is no hell"

It's not that simple, there are (almost) always a number of possible reasons for how wars began thoughout history. Which reason(s) were the main cause of an event is hardly ever completely clear cut.

Besides, religion seems to be an excuse of violence, contary to basic principles, but not an reason for violence.
If you got rid of all religions would violence and wars stop? I very much doubt it.
