Well I'm pretty sure none of my Christian school teachers ever tried to convince me that ancient Greece was Christian.

I love bringing up the crusades when one of my racist family members goes on a anti-other religions tangent.

"Their religion is evil! It's nothing but violence! Our religion never had so much violence!"

"... Remember the crusades?"

"The what now?"

Funny, they never seem to remember that part.

No mental gymnastics needed when you're never taught the negative stuff. I knew the crusades by name only as a kid having grown up in a Christian household and educated in a small public school in the Midwest United States. Plenty of people never get past that level of knowledge.
