Big difference...

1. They were, and still are, completely different religions

2. the main cause of the whole Crusade was the clash between the 2 religions.

3. Simple as this: in those times, the Christians despised the Muslims and vice versa.

The Crusades started because the Muslims had taken control of the city of Jerusalem, the birthplace of Christianity (and also the early home of the prophet Mohammed). They raged on for 200 years.

What religions were in conflict during the Crusades?

Most of the crusades we think of were wars with Christians on one side and Muslims on the other, so the answer would be Christianity and Islam. There were other crusades, however, with other religious intent. The Albigensian Crusade was one of several against Christian heretics. The Hussite Crusade was against protestants (Catholic vs. Protestant). There were crusades against pagans (Christian vs. pagan), and there were crusades against Mongol hordes (Christian vs. Mongol). There was even one crusade, the Aragonese Crusade, which was really a war between the Pope and the King of Aragon over possession of land.
