That's what the anti-religeous types never seem to understand - at most religion is an excuse for things people do.  There is always a socio-economic reason for everything, including the crusades.  

 

Take some college courses people, people do things because they need or want to, and then they use religion as an excuse for themselves and others.  They aren't some army of God, they are angry sociopaths.

Completely agree about religion as an excuse to wage acts of violence.

But IS seem so convincing that they have an actual agenda. They have plans, ideology, other literature. Even if most of the footsoldiers are just brainwashed, I think some genuinely believe they're doing, in this case, Allah's wishes.

I agree that some people think they are doing God's work, but I also believe there true motives are subconciously feeling angry over a plethora of other factors and influences.  They allow this thought of God's work to help them sleep at night, and convince themselves that they are not monsters.
