The Templar to real world connections seem so contrived and random to me. At least it seems that I'm universe the connection is pretty tenuous too. Like Copernicus is a Templar, but decides to not be a Templar because he likes to study the stars.
I guess their reasoning is Assassins are the ones who are champions of the masses, and Templars are the ones who control the masses? But even then they have some odd choices for who's which.
Then again, it does seem that in universe you have Templars that champion freedom and peace and Assassins who just like killing. So I think it's a bit less straightforward than "good vs. evil". Especially after the reveal in 2 that basically everything they're fighting over is just the left over tech from an ancient alien race that wanted humans to be at peace, and the Templars wanted to use the tech to achieve that while the Assassins wanted humanity to get there on their own.
