Summary/Abstract: Religion and war have been for a long time, which does not seem to be over yet, in direct relationship. Old soldiers went to battle animated by the thought that God is on their side, without forgetting to bring prayers and sacrifices in order to express their gratitude, and also to maintain the good relationship with God in the future. In tribal cultures (and here the Bible gives us many examples), when a side was losing a war, members of that tribe had to worship the gods worshipped by the victorious side.
