This does not mean they did not do it because of religion.
It might not be your take on christianity or whatever but it was surely theirs.
That could possibly be true if there were different views accepted by Christianity. But Christianity is consistently and completely opposed.
In Islam yes there seems to be the two opposite stances - although I assume without really knowing that those Muslims that say it's contrary to their belief are actually right. But then I think Islam is a corrupt belief system/ it's moral base is unsound.

Which is what we've been saying. Religion has been used as justification for their means for centuries. It obviously isn't rational. You and I both know it, but unfortunately religion is the common denominator.
Right. Apologies if I mistook you.
@ EvF: See above.
