The Crusades
are not my period of history. But having brushed over them I can assure you there were a myriad of different reasons for people embarking upon them

Well
I've grown up in a Catholic country, and since before I can remember, went to Church, went to a Catholic school and had to pray to God at least 5 times a day.

However, I was never asked to go to war. And I never tried to convince anyone to join the club.

Sorry about your bad experiences. It must have been painful for you to feel so bad about it.

What atrocities have religion advocated?
Personally, I agree, state over religion, any day of the week, but I don't say religion should be dismissed as a cause of war. In fact, I'd say religion is quite against that sort of thing.

Mankind will always find ways of grouping and fighting with itself. There are people who just want to fight, both for reasons of creating a bond with their fellow fighters/football team/country/whatever, and just simply for narcersectic reasons.
