It's not about religion. It's about settler colonialism.
Don't mistake "reason" for "justification", or "excuse".
Where do you think "settler colonialism" came from? Directly from religion, it's just a secular name for what religion has been doing since inception.
Early zionism came from secular jews. And christian ethics actually ran counter to manifest destiny.
The search for wealth and power does not come (automatically) from religion. Look at all the peaceful religions and all the violence done without it.
