Maybe I didn't get it across clearly so maybe it's my fault, but the problems I have are with the fact that the crusades would not have happened if there was no religion, the popular support for the crusades would not have been there at all if it wasn't for the leaders telling them about the heretics across the sea. Religion is simply a tool to rule over and manipulate the masses through out history. Anything which relies on blind faith is such a tool and nothign rrequires more blind faith then religion. Also your whole argument fully supported my point, the leaders used religion to get the support for their war.
The easiest way to gain popular support for a war is through the cross, sickle, or star of david. Thankfully things are now changing for the better than they used to be. Coincidentally the world is also more secular now that it has ever been.
