They think, “Jesus was cool. I like him, and I’m gonna try to be like him.” Kind of like their guiding light is what would Jesus do? But there isn’t a focus on identification, recruiting others, judging others based on their religion, fear of God, fear of punishment for sinning, respect for clergy as an authority, rituals, worship, etc. Basically, just the example of Jesus’ life.
inb4: Christian lol!! got em!
I learned about it in school though
where was that ? My hometown is like 20km from a city that was entirely burned down and had its population eradicated during the first Albigense crusade - i swear to God it was never mentioned to me. My parents hadn’t ever heard of it either.
I’m from the north of France. I suppose it depends of the teacher. Nevermind I looked at the official program for middle age history and I did not see any mention of it.
Yeah it certainly depends on the teacher. If you’re into that kind of history, Pacome from Blast made a gigantic episode about this in his “L’empire n’a jamais pris fin” series. One of the best youtube essays i’ve ever seen in French.
