Some of the negative ones that i have so far is:

Israeli-Palestinian conflicts (Jew vs Muslim) '48-present
Iran-Iraq war (Sunni vs Shiite)
Cold War (Christian vs Atheist)??
Northern Ireland (Catholic vs. Protestant)
Bosnia conflict (Christian vs. Muslim)
Soviet ascension to power (Atheism vs. Eastern Orthodox)

Even neutral "conflicts" where religion was apart of the conflict but it makes no real difference. I think it could be classified as something like:

Soviet invasion of Afghanistan (Atheist vs. Muslim)- but there wasn't anything inherently religiously promoting it.

So im wondering if anyone can add to this list, or maybe comment on the list that i have with some facts.

Thanks all
