hehehe not really. in modern times, puwede siguro. like the US military, mixture of different people with different backgrounds/culture/religion still manage to unite.

but in the older days, warriors/armies who's got God (Muslim, Jewish, Christian) by their side had the advantage. ancient people -> knights, peasants, lords, foot soldiers, officers, kings feared the supernatural.

why do you think the barbarians/pagans became extinct? they had the same weapons/armors too. in fact, they even have the advantage in battle bec. they can kill without remorse with no religion to confuse them. but still they fell.
