Kind of, the truth of the matter is that there were two sects of Christianity around the time of the Crusaders. There was the Vatican Christianity (Pope) and King Christianity (Holy Roman Empire). The Pope Christianity are the subverters and the ones who let the Muslims in. The Holy Roman Empire Christians are the ones who rallied the Crusaders and fought off the Muslims.
The two types of Christianity fought with each other:
The Pope Christianity won and that essentially marked the end of Christianity. Had the Ghibellines won instead, things may have unfolded differently for Christianity.
All I'm suggesting is that Christianity as a religious institution was not always what it is today. There was differing factions that may have shaped the religion differently. If you're talking about Christianity in the last 500 years? Yeah, it was always a bad religion; however, Christianity 1000 years ago? Not the worst.
It is quite obvious though that the only good parts of Christianity and its followers historically have always been the parts that most mimic pagan Roman beliefs. The less authentically Christian the Christians and the more Christian in name only but Traditional Roman in values/belief, the better the Christianity. So that is worth noting because one may suggest the heart of Christianity has always been pathetic and I would agree with that. Christianity was never a good religion even from the onset. The good parts of Christianity people remember in the past are the parts where good men dressed up good values/beliefs under the mask of Christianity but the fundamental good values/beliefs were actually always not Christian but much more traditionally Roman than Christian.
But much much much much more reliably, Christians let jews behind their defense lines to subvert and pervert and let foreigners in.
