I'll tell you one thing, its definitely not Assassin's Creed Unity. The message of the game is that believing in anything is bad, because extremist do things like kill. It does this without any sense of irony that the name of the series is literally Assassin's Creed
I love how the Assassins and Templars have this millenia long conflict with no discernable ideology lol
In the Ezio games there was an interesting subplot in the puzzle minigames about the Templars inventing capitalism because relying on monarchs and aristocrats was getting them killed more often than not, the puzzle game even brought up the Bretton Woods Conference and made Keynes a templar, which really tickled me
Of course this was all the work of whatever crypto-trot was in charge of designing the minigames and the thread was never picked up in subsequent Creed games
Joseph Stalin doing a false flag to better establish capitalism as a dominant ideology
