People make war because of their gods: this is true; but the One God is different. He invites people to live in this World in peace and safety; and even to be safe in Paradise or Heaven in the Next Life.
While the enemies of God: it is they who stir wars and make destruction everywhere.
So such assertion that wars are because of God -- this is untrue and is a fallacy.
Wars occur among people because of their wronging each other and because they disobey God's commandments, specially the First One and so they fall in the idolatry and many gods and blasphemy and atheism and so they will divide and be many sects and then fighting and wars occur among them.
Wars took place among Jews on account of their disobedience and association and so they were punished by the fighting and wars that they did among themselves.

I have not seen any evidence that prayers and fasting can heal illnesses. If that were the case, churches would have run hospitals out of work. Prayers make people (who are predisposed) to feel good about themselves. But that’s it – they never grow the limbs of amputees.
Most of my Nigerian friends (doctors) are Pentecostal Christians. They are well-educated people with several postgraduate degrees but, somehow, a lot of them still believe that evil spirits, witches and demons are responsible for diseases. They still believe that prayers and fasting can alter the outcome of illnesses. This makes me to draw the conclusion that religion has the power to make people to hold contradictory ideas at the same time, and that education in itself does not immunize against religious indoctrination. As you know, the leaders of many jihadist organisations are also well-educated people. The Nigerian underwear suicide bomber, Abdulmutallab, was a student in one of the UK's most prestigious universities. In 2007, Glasgow airport was nearly blown up by two medical doctors in a jihadist terrorist plot.
