Ridley Scott is an athiest and he always adds jabs at the West and particularly Christianity in his period pieces.
I wouldn't say Kingdom of Heaven is Christian kino. The only good characters are either areligious, Muslim or Christian's who have lost their faith. The Templars are evil anti-Islamic fanatics, and the Hospitilars are good and dont really believe in religon.
They weren’t. Many knights who went on crusade sold their lands at home so they could venture east. They truly believed they were performing a Pious act

A lot of the actual knights were Normans. ie literal Vikings. They weren't motivated by religion they were just doing what Normans had been doing for the past 100 years. Except this time with the bonus of getting all their sins forgiven.
