By this logic, the Spanish Inquisition wasn’t so much about Christianity, as it was about anti-Islam and anti-Judaism.
I'd say the inquisition was more about decolonization. Decolonization isn't always a pretty thing.
Antisemitism is usually about finding a convenient scapegoat for problems which is mostly about horrible people solidifying power more than anything else.
Religion is often warped to gain political power which is why a separation between church and state is so important.
