If you could point out the parts of the Bible that the Crusaders appealed to as they raped and pillaged their way across Europe and Asia Minor, that would help lift your comment from 'cliche' to 'credible' ...

On the other hand you could be more careful to draw a distinction between wars caused directly by religious belief (and don't get me wrong, there are plenty of examples) and wars where kings used religion as a pretext.

As for the C of E, they got themselves into a stupid situation but they're not the first to be caught out by the unexpected contents of an investment fund and they won't be the last.
