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.
A clue to the beliefs of the Knights Templar could be found by looking at their organization's name: Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon. They are Christians, and, as such, believe that what one sows on earth will be reaped after one crosses over. Our friends at Wikipedia have a few facts on hand, and the link is provided.

the Templar Knights have never been unmade. There are still many orders of the Knights Templar, mostly now involved in charity work, not fighting.
The Knights Templar had squires to serve them. Their squires differed from those of other knights, because they were not in an apprenticeship and did not normally become knights, but were just servants. Also associated with the Knights Templar were sergeants, who were members of lower social classes who served as light cavalry. They rendered military service. The Knights Templar had their own clergy as well.
