The word comes from 15th century English, made popular by a Spanish king who had a lisp. He once said to a beautiful maiden "You have such a beautiful faith, I want to kith you".

And the word Crusader clearly comes from the Canterbury Crusaders rugby team.

Yes number 3 is the most common usage today

3.

any vigorous, aggressive movement for the defense or advancement of an idea, cause, etc.: a crusade against child abuse.

1 and 2 are not used now, 1 last used in the 13th century and the pope doesn't sanction any wars now.

Acch the word crusade is used in common English in the English speaking part of the world,

I'm on a crusade to combat drug use, I'm on a crusade to combat piracy.

The crusade were in response to the Muslim armies conquering the levant or did the Muslims there just sprout out of the ground? Do you think the Muslims spread out from Arabia and people started speaking Arabic because they thought it was fun?

If you are going to lecture people on history, you should make sure that you know what you are talking about! Richard wasn't even born in the time of the first crusade and he was involved in the 3rd crusade!

Ripcord, just flip back the pages of history and you will learn that it was Richard the Lion Heart who gathered his army and came in as an invader. That battle came to be known as the "Crusades. The second time the word "Crusade" was used again in its full text was by George W Bush.

And when Richard the Lion Heart left back for home did he not carry a different view of the Arabs? His words were "I would love to fight by the side of Salahuddin Ayubi" than many Christian kings!

I have faith the bank won't loose my money - otherwise I wouldn't keep it there

etc etc etc etc

Religion : System of life o live ( Not Sunday church or Friday Prayers or some rituals)

Faith : Believe on what told by religion.

The word faith in English is used for many things not just religious purposes. Same as crusade is used in a variety of ways not just its original religious meaning, but Muslims still get very excited when they hear it
