Should our government promote faith-based-fraud such as Mormonism and Islam?

I found this

the Children's Crusade

that the Crusade started when a young boy
began preaching in France or Germany. The boy proclaimed that he had
been visited by Jesus and was told to lead a Crusade to peacefully convert
Muslims to Christianity. He performed a series of supposed miracles and
gained a considerable following, including possibly as many as 30,000
children. The boy led his followers south towards the Mediterranean Sea, in
the belief that the sea would part on their arrival, allowing him and his
followers to march to Jerusalem, but this did not happen.

According to legend, some of the followers used free passage boats to
travel to Tunisia, but the majority were sold into slavery or died in a
shipwreck on San Pietro Island, off Sardinia. Many of the poor and elderly
failed to reach the sea before dying or giving up from starvation and
exhaustion. Modern scholarship has proclaimed that this long-standing view
is more legend than fact. Historians have stated that there were actually two
separate movements of people in 1212, in Germany and France.


It has been suggested that these people were not primarily children, but
multiple bands of "wandering poor." In the first movement Nicholas, a
shepherd from Germany, led a group across the Alps and into Italy in the
early spring of 1212. About 7,000 people arrived in Genoa in late August.
However, events did not go as planned when the waters failed to part as
promised, and the group broke up.

The second movement was led by a 12-year-old French shepherd boy
named Stephen of Cloyes (a village near Châteaudun), who claimed in June
of 1212 that he received a letter for the king of France from Jesus. His
message attracted a crowd of over 30,000 and the boy went to Saint-Denis,
where he was seen to work miracles.

Joshua Blahyi, also known as General Butt Naked, is a Liberian man that was
originally a tribal priest before becoming a Liberian warlord. During the early
1990s, Blahyi was a fiercely violent and eccentric leader on the side of
Roosevelt Johnson in the First Liberian Civil War. He is a member of the
Sarpo clan, which make up 20% of the Krahn tribe in Liberia. At age 11, he
claims that the Devil called him on the telephone, commanding him to lead a
revolution. The Krahn elders later appointed Blahyi as high priest, a position
that would later lead him to become the spiritual advisor to Liberian
President Samuel Doe.

After the First Liberian Civil War began, Joshua Blahyi took a commanding
role. He has said that he led his troops into battle completely naked except
for shoes and a gun, which has given him the nickname General Butt Naked.
Apparently, he believed that his nakedness was a source of protection
from bullets. Blahyi now claims he would regularly sacrifice a human victim
before battle, saying, "Usually it was a small child, someone whose fresh
blood would satisfy the devil.” He explained to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer,
“Sometimes I would enter under the water where children were playing. I
would dive under the water, grab one, carry him under and break his neck.
Sometimes I'd cause accidents. Sometimes I'd just slaughter them."

Blahyi claimed to a South African Star reporter that he "met Satan regularly
and talked to him" and that from the age of 11 to 25 he took part in monthly
human sacrifices. In his account of a typical battle Blahyi stated, "So, before
leading my troops into battle, we would get drunk and drugged up, sacrifice a
local teenager, drink their blood, then strip down to our shoes and go into
battle wearing colorful wigs and carrying dainty purses we'd looted from
civilians. We'd slaughter anyone we saw, chop their heads off and use them
as soccer balls. He has also claimed that he had "magical powers that
made him invisible" and a "special power" to capture a town single handedly,
and then call to his troops afterwards to "clean up.”

Blahyi's rampage ended in 1996, when the civil war in Liberia was coming to
an end. In 1997, he traveled to the Buduburam refugee camp in Ghana. It
was at the camp, he recounts, that he made confession at a Church for his
sins and had his life saved. After the war, Blahyi worked as a preacher and
would often times encounter relatives of his victims. Joshua Blahyi has
been quoted as saying "I feel very bad, so bad,” but he insists it was satanic
powers that possessed him in the past and he cannot be held responsible.
Today, Blahyi is the President of the End Time Train Evangelistic Ministries
Inc., with Headquarters in Liberia. He is married and has three children. It
has been estimated that between1980 and 1996 Blahyi and his men were
responsible for the deaths of more than 20,000 people
