Christianity helped decrease disease by promoting better hygiene through bathing more frequently

Please provide any evidence to support your statement.

@jlynn37 I remember reading something years ago about European Christians learning something about bathing or hygiene from Muslims during the Crusades, then they brought back those practices to Europe. I can't find it now, but this mentions it a little. [defenderofjerusalem.com]

Here's some Wikipedia articles about hygiene in Islam and Christianity and history of bathing. Better hygiene helps prevent disease so they were on the right track.
