You keep telling yourself that

Are you even vaguely aware of who the Habsburg, Hohenzollern, Bourbon and Medici families were? Because THEY were the ones who started these wars and THEY used religion as a cover to gain political power and, with the exceptions of the Bourbons, they had members who were both Catholic AND Protestant.

Do you think that the “religious wars” not only of the Reformation age but of earlier centuries were NOT about secular issues as well? I’m fascinated.
