I doubt that - wars are fought because of power struggles and simply under pretense of religion.
Without religion, people would find another reason to wage war.

Yeah right, North Korea and China are heaven on Earth with their lack of religion

It is religion that has been the backbone of keeping humans civilised, any place with atheists ruling it have always caused mass murder, in the pursuit of luxury. All great civilisations fell after they abandoned their religion

if religion was to be honest there would be no churches the wealth gained from such religion would go into the goodwill of all mankind and starvation and cruelty would cease to exist. the only person I will ever stop to listen to is the man on a soap box that is the true church

Right!

But being fair, I didn't produce a statistic either, just something I read, but then that kind of is the point. How do we really know anything? To me of course, it's better to admit that we don't know the nature of our existence, than to pretend to have those answers, which most if not all religions do. And that is part of the problem with them.

No need for it, just look at North Korea and see what happens without religion with immoral atheistic materialists taking over
