That was kind of a thought provoking question. That means all of the Christian wars fought were fought over...nothing? Christianity based things were nothing. Society was years behind in advancement due to fake churches criminalizing thinkers like Da Vinci. Of course, Nikki and Valerie weren't concerned with how wrong history textbooks were.

"Do you like them?" he asked. "They're all natural, no filing, no caps, nothing."
