just an fyi, of the 1700 someodd wars recorded since 10,000 bc, only 7% of them were for religious reasons. and of those 50% have been islamic. and ones in the name of christianity? fringe groups with odd ball beliefs.

not sure what it has to do with the topic at hand though.

The Crusades were done by "fringe groups with odd ball beliefs"? Since when was the the Pope and the Catholic church from the 11th-13th century a "fringe group with odd ball beliefs"?

The Reconquista was also done by "fringe groups with odd ball beliefs"? Sure, if you consider entire kingdoms trying to reclaim the Iberian Peninsula from Muslims as a fringe group, then i'll give you that.

RM did you do the research on your own, or are you citing someone else? I'm just curious if you could provide the link/data so I could use it at some point in the near future when I find some looney tune who thinks current-day Christians are a flock of blood-thirsty warkhawks.
