It's a way of achieving political aims, and gain followers.
The crusaders invaded the middle east in the name of Christianity.
Muslims conquered europe in the name of Islam.
The jews invaded palestine in the name of religion.

No, I do not regard religion as a tactic for invasion. Perhaps people use it as such, but it isn't the fault of the religion.
I believe firmly that the Crusades, the Inquisition, and other witch hunts and burnings were a tool of Satan, not of God.
MY church is not political (even though some of its members are, considering the fact that 99% of its members are military and military family members), and we do not do anything to gain members. People come to my church because they hear great things about it from others who attend.
Whatever other churches do is on the people, not on the Bible or Christianity itself.
