Have you notice through out history the envading conquaring force forces their religion onto their conquest! Spanish forced the Mexicans and through out central America to convert or die to Chatholic, The people of eroupe force native Americans to convert to some sort of Christitanity along with the slaves brought over. How can they stay with any of these religions being them forced on them from invading force. It did not work during the cruasade because they lost that war on religion!

Goes back before the Crusades-Christians killing Jews and Muslims in the name of god.

You are just looking at from a purely Christian perspective.
The American Indians believed a whole bunch of nonsense before the Europeans arrived. They just replaced the pagan nonsense with the Christian nonsense.
Same story with the Crusades. It was just a battle between Christian nonsense and a slightly different form of Islamic nonsense. The old testament stories for both religions are almost identical. One group, the Muslims, beat the other group, the Christians, but in the end most of the people in the Middle East believe a bunch of fairy tales that are very similar to the Christian fairy tales.

you missed my point the religions were forced on those who were conquared. It was take it or die. Like slavery you don't want to be a slave then we kill you.
Religion has been the justification for murder, mayhem, and genocide for centuries, if not millenia. That, and the appropriation of resources. That is humanity's dark side.
