Not even close. Religion
Once you get religion involved in an issue the issue will get worse. The combatants will see it as an attack on the culture/heritage/moral belief system and when that happens you my as well head to the bomb shelter or pick up arms cuz they are going to be bringin it.

I agree 100%, and I would go so far as to say that the world would be far better place if there was no religion. The negatives of worshippng "superior beings" outweigh the positives IMO.

From what I've seen, the main source of conflict in the world is that people want to control things that they are not entitled to--like other peoples' property, work or opinions.

Hmm. I probably should have put xenophobia and tribalism on there as an option. Can a moderator add it?
I answered religion out of kneejerk habit, but the more I think about it the more I wonder if it's cultural differences. Of course, the truth is that the two are fundamentally intertwined.

Hmm, good point. Let's say in the past 100 years. Bonus points for answering in the past 5,000 years.

I'd have to say a mix between economic disparities and self-interest, over human existance. Religion doesn't even come close to that IMO.
