Absolute shite. The French and British fought for years and for a few few of those years they had the same religion. The Germans and Hungarians fought a little, they were both Catholics.
Christianity is an aspect of European life, but not the whole reason why it's here.
The Crusades were really just a way to get the violent young men of a generation to a place where they would all almost certainly die and certainly never come back. Calling it a Christian ideal is rubbish. The Hungarians didn't bother with them and they're one of the most holy countries.
Also, remember the Christian uprising in the Lebanon not so long ago? That was terrible, it led to a civil war.
The Muslims brought us most of our technology that we have today, it's really just a more intellectual version of Christianity, it's a perfectly acceptable religion, it's just that for the last 100 years we have been fighting wth them over resources and trade.
