The Holy Grail was an excuse for Europeans to ransack the ME over and over again...
If they had a realistic goal, they might achieve it and have to make a new excuse.
I'd like to think most people today would be educated enough to get that, but it doesn't look like it
Why would most people today care to know a tiny tidbit of Christian-specific trivia?
...
Bruh, the crusades was an extremely important event that occupied centuries of both European and Middle Eastern civilization's history and we're literally still dealing with the fallout on a global geopolitical scale...
I remember when my decades old red state public education was considered shitty, but do people really think the fucking crusades was "a tiny tidbit of Christian-specific trivia"?
Not all people equate the holy grail with the crusades.
I just think they want to belittle the idea of a holy grail. As a non-believer an old trinket like that wouldn't have much value.
