Throughout history, many peasant revolts have been intertwined with religious motivations and justifications. Peasants often drew upon religious doctrines and symbols to rally support for their cause and to legitimize their resistance against oppressive rulers or landowners. This was especially prevalent in medieval Europe, where religion played a central role in daily life. Peasant leaders and participants frequently framed their grievances in religious terms, depicting their struggle as a divine mission against injustice and inequality.
