Keep in mind that in the old days, when witch hunts happened, many innocent women were drowned, burned alive, etc.
The church didn't need much to say that a woman is a witch and therefore kill her.
Also think about the Crusades of the Church, again same stuff, fanatic religious army killing in the name of the church.
These are real historical examples, not just fantasy written lore. I don't see anything bad in that unless the whole game is based on that, not a problem to have a group of religious fanatics, or devil worshipers, or different groups. It is part of history :)
Interesting that you touched on this subject, I always enjoy reading about the "middle ages", and I would like to say that the "inquisition" was much more complex than it seems if your writer is going to do something inspired by it, I recommend you to take this as a reference:
"L'inquisizione - Atti del Simposio internazionale (Città del Vaticano, 29-31 ottobre 1998)."
Many people believe that the inquisition stopped only at witch-hunting, but witch-hunting was a small part of it.
