Religions and a Religious Feud

Encyclopedia Britannica-middle school level
-something all religions have in common is that they help whoever is a believer find meaning in the world
-major religions today: Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Sikhism-not-so-major religions today: Baha'i, Jainism, Shinto, Zoroastrianism, Daoism, Native American religions and traditional African religions-in 1777 Thomas Jefferson wrote the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom-^^ basically just wanted the church and state apart--completely
-however this was not a feud because people were still free to worship as they pleased
-while the state and religion were still separated, people were still happy with this decision, so I have yet to find any major feuds*

Further Questions/Unanswered Questions:
1) Is a religious person more likely to be successful than a non-religious person, or an atheist?
2) *Are there any major feuds that go back to religion?
