The Roman persecution of the druids was political, not religious

And the situation in Palestine isn't political? Northern Ireland is realy about Catholics and Protestants? Hmmmm. In your own words, Ooh-Aah, dream on.

always seem to be from these three faiths - coincidence? I don't think so. I don't think so either. Considering that out of the worlds population of around 6 billion, 4 billion of them are of the three monotheist faiths there is a 66% chance that all troublemakers come from one of them.

Can I offer some advice? You don't need to take it:-) Think the argument through beyond face value. I am not disagreeing with you - honest! Religion does appear to be a major cause of conflict but things are not always what they seem. I can guarantee that anyone in a position to cause major upheaval in the world is not interested in what god you worship or how. They are only interested in one thing - power. They use religion and any other means at their disposal to stir up people who know no better while keeping their own hands clean. But it is not religion itself that has caused the conflict.

If you must choose to hate anything or anyone don't pick on the tool. Pick on the user. I'd rather you did not hate anyone though. It is far less stressful:-)
