The fixation with the Crusades and Inquisition are precisely because they were human phenomena: despite all the outward signs of piety, where was God in all of that?
We point to the vast canvas of human misery and say, "Where is God?" You point to a saint or stray miracle or personal experience and say, "There is God." That you cannot understand why your answer is insufficient to us is the entire point.
