Countries who trade with each other and provide for a common defense under a secular Capitalist arrangement do not go to war with each other.

Allies don't go to war with each other most circumstances. And the phrase 'a common defense ...' cuts a pretty narrow slice of history, like only the 'NATO' countries? They have a lot more in common that just capitalism.

It may be a narrow slice of history but it is a true slice. The wars that have caused death of millions arise from:

a. Religions fighting religions or everybody else.
b. Socialists fighting everybody else or occasionally each other.

Secularism has NOTHING to do with it. Prager is simply wrong.
