Just watching a PBS show on Middle ages

Just watching a PBS show on Middle ages
It touches upon the Knight's  Templar to Charles the first. And the infamous York "Clifford's" Tower.  Several centuries history. 

I really do not want to hear shit about how Christianity cannot be as brutal as Islam. 

All the Kings of antiquity on the British Islands fought each other and many thought of themselves as the head of their church sect. 

When the conservatives in America talk about "religious freedom" they mean the same fucking thing as the theocratic Kingships of the British Islands history. The freedom to dominate having nothing to do with secular law we know today.

The only thing that is keeping the west from looking like the east is our common law. The west became more civil in spite of religion, not because of it. 


They did kill in the name of their religion, just as today we hear talk of our right wing claiming they will "defend"  their "rights".
