Pull!
Morality wouldn't enter anyone's mind in the dark ages. God was always on their side anyway. Even if you killed children. History is filled with blood. Learned much about it from documentarys. Quite nasty.
The sense of ethics for which we have now was not present back then. Today we still have executions but at least it doesnt involve horrific pain with a lengthy death nor do we chop off the hands of the one who steals. Oh and we don't throw babies into castles to de-moralise the enemy army. See, we got nasty history.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
