Religion is more contentious, there are some civil wars that can be seen as fueled by religion in early years, such as the Jewish Revolts against Rome, but these can also be seen as revolts by a servile people against their oppressors or uprisings by local notables in an attempt to gain independence.
Civil wars fought over religion have tended to occur in monotheistic societies than in polytheistic societies; this has been explained as being because the latter tend to be more "flexible" in terms of dogma, to allow for some latitude in belief.

  Chinese Civil War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chinese Civil War (Traditional Chinese: 國共内戰; Simplified Chinese: 国共内战; Pinyin: guógòng neìzhàn; literally "Nationalist-Communist Civil War") was a conflict in China between the Kuomintang (Chinese Nationalist Party; KMT) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The war against Japan greatly sapped the KMT's military resource, and Chiang's own central army was never to recover from the devastating losses it had sustained in the early stages of the war.
By the end of the war large portions of the peasant masses of occupied China were politically mobilized in support of the Communists; however, the Communists had a severe shortage of war material, including small arms.
