Best Answer

The Knights Templar were Christians. Their original purpose was to assist travelers to the Holy Land. Legend has it that they hunted for relics of Christianity in the Holy Land. They also developed the first banking systems in Europe. The institution of the Knights Templar was destroyed by one of the Kings of France and the Roman Catholic Pope because they were becoming too powerful. Also, the king of France at the time wanted to claim the riches of the Knights Templar for the French Crown. The monarchy did not have much money at the time of the Templars.
