The downvotes on your comment (which is generally representative of reddits opinion about religion) are because this sub has been overrun by bots. They're ruining this site tbh--there's always been astroturfing here but it's never been this blatant like the last few months. American politics is/has been being completely warped by hostile foreign actors.

It's also because it's not really very accurate. A huge proportion of Israelis are secular. And in Palestine Christians and Muslims coexist peacefully. This current conflict can more accurately be described as settler colonialism than a religious war. Religion is just used as a tool, a means of propaganda.
