Most crusades were rather unreliable-just using religion as an excuse to attack foreigners, some of which were actually Christian. The Peasant's Crusade (also known as the People's Crusade, not all the crusaders worked on the land).

Peasants wanted to join crusades because it gave them legitimacy and representation. Otherwise, they were too poor and meaningless to have representation on their own.
The pope made a very moving speech, which inspired many people including the peasants and encouraged them to fight if they were religious, saying that all they're sins would be atoned for.
Peasants saw joining a crusade as a way to escape their harsh living conditions, find adventure, and potentially gain wealth and social status. The promise of forgiveness for their sins and the opportunity to secure a place in heaven also influenced their decision to join crusades.
