You flunked History, didn't you?
Every war where one is offered to convert or die is done in the name of religion, because that makes a very good (if thin) veil for conquering. See also: The Crusades.
We haven't had one of those in quite awhile, though. officially. To be blunt: If you can get knowledge ahead of time of what people believe, or you can brainwash them into believing, they'll do anything for "the better good", and if not, how about, oh.. 70 virgins. See also: 9/11.
