one of the most religious of European civil wars, wasn't only about religion. The struggle between Parliament and Crown was a major factor.

It probably goes without saying that historical causation is usually multi-faceted, though weight can certainly be apportioned. Seems to be what the professional historians spend most of their time arguing about, especially in the case of the English Civil War/Revolution (which wasn't really the topic of your post anyway, sooo...)
