A nice fairy tale but history does not support it.
Try these on for size:

First Crusade 1096-1099
People's Crusade 1096
German Crusade 1096
Minor Crusade 1101
Second Crusade 1145-1187
Third Crusade 1189-1192
Fourth Crusade 1202-1204
Albigensian Crusade 1209-1229
Children's Crusade 1212
Fifth Crusade 1217-1221
Sixth Crusade 1228-1244
Seventh Crusade 1248-1254
1st Shepherd's Crusade 1251
Eighth Crusade 1270
Ninth Crusade 1269-1291
2nd Shepherd's Crusade 1320
Northern Crusades 1193-1410
The War of the Roses 1455-1485
The French Wars of Religion 1562-1598

And these are just off the top of my head. Want me to see some real research.

"Most wars were secular?" Hardly. That is a fabrication so easily challenged I am amazed you put it into play. The reality of the Christian Church is that it is soaked in blood and that bloodshed continues to almost this very day in Northern Ireland where the Catholics and Protestants are at each others throats.
