US civil war - not about religion, lasted 4 years, issues resolved. Peace..
When did the KKK come about? What happened to black in the south after the war? All peace and happiness? I think not.

Thirty Years' War - about religion and sovereignty, 30 years, religious issues between Catholics and Protestants resolved, no more religious wars in Europe. (Last religious war on the British Isles around the same time) Religious tolerance throughout the West
Protestant and Catholic are best friend? IRA never killed 1800 people in the 20th century? A Catholic can be prime minister of UK? Guy Fawkes and his Catholic buddies didn't try to blow up British parliament in 1608? The catholic Spanish never had war with Protestant Britain or faced a Protestant rebellion in the Low Countries in the 16th century
Some of the Protestant-Catholic wars in Europe
The German Peasants' War (1524–1525)
The battle of Kappel in Switzerland (1531)
The Schmalkaldic War (1546–1547) in the Holy Roman Empire
The Eighty Years' War (1568–1648) in the Low Countries
The French Wars of Religion (1562–1598)
The Thirty Years War (1618–1648)
The Wars of the Three Kingdoms (1639–1651)
Scottish Reformation and Civil Wars
English Reformation and Civil War
Irish Confederate Wars and the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland
Nine Years' War (1688–97)
The whole Irish thing has been simmering for centuries exploding in the 20th century.
Even to this day a Catholic cannot become PM of the UK, and the problems in Northern Ireland continue to flare up.
The Catholics were despised in Protestant Australia in the early 20th century.
I can still remember my Presbyterian grandmother trying to teach me that the tail of a chicken was called 'the pope's nose'.

Muslim civil war - 1400 year, nothing's resolved. Perpetual killings in the name of Islam. Islam has had the longest religious war. Ongoing wherever Islam exists.
There was no civil war in the Iraq before the US invaded.
