Last time I checked your not supposed to judge other people, according to the bible.(therefore don't kill them because they don't believe in your religion)

Religion was used as simply as a morale booster,the crusades were to regain land lost to the turks.Do you think all those people would have died and risked going to hell if they knew if the war was just over land?
The french war was for 2 groups trying to control 1 country,just as ethnic groups fight in the middle east against each other.
The thirty years war is for the same reason as above. None of what you are saying was started because of religion.
