The way to use religion to turn people look away from problems is coming from history. When Europeans started crusades and colonialism, the official reason for those things was to make every people on the Earth Christian. Here I must say that there is nothing wrong to be Christian if the order of the Holy Bible is followed, and we would act with other people like we hope that they are acting with us. But this is a very problematic question because Christianity was hiding many other things in history, for the beginning of the colonization.
In the School, we are learning, that the reason for conquers and Colonization of America was simple will to rob the gold and Jewelry from those countries. And this is the most important reason for the actions of the Conquistadors. But there were also many more reasons, and one of them was afraid of Muslims. The colonization is an actually similar thing with crusades. Sometimes I have thought, that also the colonization of Africa and America should rename as the "other crusade", because the Religion was used as the motivator in that operation. Also, the thing was, that Spain united in the year 1492 when the last Muslims were won by Ferdinand and Isabella, and that thing caused need to fix the economy of Spain by shipping gold from America.
The most important reason for Crusades have been overpopulation and in the year 1095 the Pope ordered people go to liberate the Holy Land, what is modern Israel, and this caused conflict, what continues even today. The situation in the Middle East was in the early Medieval period, that the Muslims were "they" and Christians were "us", and the purpose of the war was to destroy the new religion, Islam, and that war caused the thing, what is continuing today, and the hate between Christians and Muslims have caused the longest series of conflicts in the history of the World.
The colonization and destruction of the native people in America and other areas, where Europeans went the argument for war the need to make every people Christian. And the reason for that was that Europeans afraid that Muslims got new troops for their armies. Of course, gold and pieces of jewelry were wanted, but Europeans wanted to take also the people under their or our control. The problem with native Americans was that they live far away from Europe, and if the Europeans could train them to work in armies, they could use those people, work as soldiers, when they would attack in the in the Holy Land.
The problem with the warfare is that every time somebody would die. And this is the reason, why Europeans wanted to train those Indians to work as the soldiers for them. Those losses were more acceptable because nobody in Europe didn't know about those people. And they afraid that Muslims were trying to make something like that against Europeans. The reason why Europeans took every gold and jewelry from the countries, what they conquered was that this action denied that those merchandises came under the control of the King. That denied the private armies in America, and grow the Economy of the Mother Country. The Colonization was the continue for the Crusades. And the motive of that thing was similar to the crusades.
