Do not confuse definition with origin. While that may be its origin, in modern times bot the words “crusade” and “crusader” are only roughly connected to the origin of the word. Over time the definition has become much broader then it originally was.
oh and from dictionary.com
Crusade
3.
any vigorous, aggressive movement for the defense or advancement of an idea, cause, etc.: a crusade against child abuse.

That definition is really old and out of date.
A crusader is someone who fights for a specific set of beliefs. (and is recognized by the organization/belief set they fight for as a defender of the beliefs) That is the current definition that is especially prevalent in games and media.
