It has NOTHING to do with religion. Just as the Crusades had very little to do with religion (90% politics), just as the Reformation had almost nothing to do with religion (95% politics, Martin Luther didn't want to give money to the pope in Rome, Henry VIII wanted a freaking divorce), just as the Inquisition had nothing to do with religion (again, politics), just as missionaries in the Americas and Africa had nothing to do with religion (politics, they wanted to make the indigenous populations more subservient to European rule)

You know, you can call me whatever you want, but I take offense to you saying that I live in the past because I'm a historian. Again, you miss the deeper significance and only see what lies on the surface. Don't you understand that by finding out what causes the status quo in the world today, we can help solve it? History is extremely relevant to the present, and I would go so far as to say that you haven't studied much history at, if any, written outsidde the sphere of influence of your government.
