Come on Brian - in WW2 both Hitler and the allies claimed that God was on their side.

It was just a morale booster for the troops.
Perhaps but there was a real sentiment which underlaid it. Vicars and Priests preached all about how righteous a cause their side was.

Dehumanisation of the enemy is a common means of motivating troops, Bobby. All sides in warfare undertake it to justify their killing of human beings. Of course, such killing runs completely contrary to what Christianity claims it is all about. Funny that, hey?

Yes that's true -
Jesus said -

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
