Rest assured Robert Templars are not Zealots, they are Christians.

However your assessment is inaccurate of our past. using todays morals a a judgement. is fraught with errors.....I suggest B.W Tuchman's "A distant mirror - the calamitous 14th century" for an more accurate description. Her description is great and not as rosy as may think but at least its based on fact not fiction (pulitzer prize X 2).

I will pray you try to better undestand the ideals of today.
