Not sure if this fits here , in politics or general. This does sort of explain why socialists, communists and other dictatorial forms of government tend to be anti-religious.
Himmmmmmm would you say this about the Chinese hoards that road thousands of miles to destroy a very different civilisation from theres.? They were there for the riches and controll, no religion imposed.
The Invaders from Europe into South America, or the Christian Crusades.? this was for the goods not for religion. That was their excuse, but not to mention gold and slaves.
The Vikings came to England not to impose their faith but to gain riches from the churches they plundered. The land they could gain and naturally slaves.
Actually I would think it was the religious thinking of the time that was used as an excuse to plunder and destroy and gain lands that were the problem.
What is different today, we have people that wish to impose their beliefs as an excuse to do as the people have done for thousands of years--to gain our green fields, our riches and gather more slaves.
