Where the motives behind the Crusades primarily religious, or military/political?

by mooligan3

As the title states. Of course, there would have been a combination of both motives, but I am curious as to what was the dominant reason for the campaigns was. Were there any other factors?

This question has come up before, and I have some previous answers you could take a look at:

Crusades- Offense or defense?

Does anyone know of any contemporary sources detailing the motivations of crusaders on the first crusade in 1096?

Hopefully those will help! Basically, as I always like to say, there were as many motives as there were crusaders - not just one dominant reason.
