The Crusades

Basically…The 2022 Oscars if Chris Rock were the Islamic Nations and Will Smith were the Christians. Under the ruling of the Roman Church, followers sought out to take back the Holy Land from Islamic nations that ruled over it. Over time, these battles turned into anti-Islamic aggressions and ruthless animosity that resulted in over 1.7 million deaths (equivalent to 34 million people in modern times)

The Roman Catholic Church intended to use The Crusades to regain control of the Holy Land, however, it indirectly highlighted bigotry towards anti-Islamic values

Cultism

When people take things wayyyyyy too far. Cultism relates to people devoting themselves to cult activities. Cults take inspiration from religious tactics to force people into extreme actions. Many people understand cultist to be malicious, but many cult members join believe they’re joining for a better cause. Biases and misconceptions often make it difficult for survivors to heal from past strife because of how much mental strain comes from their past experiences and society.

Jim Jones and the People’s Temple forcing innocent people into suicide is one of the most infamous examples of cultism.
