Especially with the conflicts of the medieval period, its difficult to sort the chickens from the eggs. In order to impose a religious faith on others, you'd want a noble with an army behind you. If you're a nobleman seeking power and wanting to have a cause that rallies people willing to get killed in wars, religion can be a good cause to sell.
