RE: Do you think that without religion the crusades would have never happened?

You have a point, and I myself think pretty much the same. You are right about that religion is used as an excuse to go to war and plunder. But also as a motivator for the soldiers and people.
But that's about wars in general. Tee crusades were just a religious war with religious objectives, which were to conquer the "holy land" and show which religion was the best.
So the crusades wouldn't happen without religion.
