    Well for starts the crusades were about more than just religion, and it’s pretty obvious that they weren’t the end of Christian religious violence and that nobody “learned their lesson” from them.

      were about more than just religion

      of course but they also were about religion

      they weren’t the end of Christian religious violence

      I’d say they were the epitome of christian violence (against non-christians) and from then on it decreased overall

      nobody “learned their lesson” from them

      after enough of the desasters that were the crusades they stopped doing them altogether
