Well this is debatable some people believe that they were more than that and they have been around for centuries and took the new name the free masons and others think they have been molded into what some people believe the Illuminati and of course other people just think they were just warriors of the holy church
Yes, the Crusades were also driven by political, economic, and social reasons such as expanding territory, seeking wealth, and resolving conflicts between different groups. Additionally, the Crusades facilitated cultural exchanges between the East and the West, impacting the development of European society.
The religious Crusades took place over a period of nearly 200 years, from the late 11th century to the late 13th century. The Crusades were a series of military expeditions initiated by European Christians to reclaim the Holy Land from Muslim control.
The Crusades were marked by violence, greed, and political agendas, rather than solely religious motivations. They resulted in widespread atrocities, including the massacre of innocent civilians. Furthermore, the actions of Crusaders often contradicted fundamental Christian principles of peace and love.
Later crusades were often more motivated by political and economic goals rather than religious fervor. The focus shifted towards gaining territorial conquests, trade routes, and power in the region rather than purely religious motivations. This change led to a more complex and varied set of motives driving the later crusades.
Some common people were motivated to join the Crusades for reasons such as seeking adventure, hoping to gain wealth and land, or believing in the opportunity for social advancement. The promise of absolution of sins and a guaranteed place in heaven also appealed to many.

It would be more nearly correct to say they slowed it down. Loss of some of their territory to the Europeans caused the Muslims to reconsider their confidence that they were predestined to take over the world - for a while. Rather more distressing than the Crusades, which stopped with retaking the Holy Land, were the incursions of the Mongol hordes, who would have, had they been able, taken over ALL the lands of Islam.
