First of all, I would disagree with the statement because we have seen fair amount of wars due to ethnicity, land and power politics. Therefore, I won't label religion as the root of all the world problems. Hunger, lack of resources, poverty and climate change etc. have nothing to do with religion and these are some major problems we face.
Religion is the biggest source of spiritual comfort which is a fundamental need for every human being. I would agree that the world has also suffered due to religious intolerance but that's not the fault of the religion but of the people who follow it. When it comes to beliefs we human beings are intolerable. An average religious person never likes some critique of his beliefs and he wants his truth to be the only truth. I am a religious person, I have my own beliefs and they matter to me like nothing else but at the same time I'm open for a genuine critique on my beliefs. I may not be able defend my beliefs properly but still I can swallow someones logical and reasonable arguments against my beliefs and that only inspires me to dig deeper for the truth and I think that everyone should have that kind of tolerance. It only helps you strengthen you beliefs and make you closer to the truth.
If we can be tolerable about our religions then we can eliminate the danger of religious wars and focus on the real problems that we face today.
I completely disagree with the question as problems associated today are related to gain hold or power.
Our leaders manipulate the situation to gain their benefit in such a way that it looks to common people that their problems are associated with religion.
All the religions teaches us about peace, humanity and respect. If we fallow any religion in true spirit it will guide us how we can be a good believer and how can we benefit to mankind.
I don't think that is completely true. Hunger and lack of clean water in third world countries is a problem but religion can't be directly connected to that. Sometimes ambitious leaders who can't get enough power over people cause problems on the world stage but that doesn't make it a religious problem.

Most of world's wars in history were related to ethnic conflict one way or another. I can't agree with you.
because majority of humans are involved in religion, one way or another
