Just another dude with Message Board bias.
Did it take you this long to dig up one article? ONE ARTICLE? It doesn't even focus exclusively on Bin Laden?
Read the man's own Fatwah against Saudi Arabia in 1996. His own words.

Quote:
Praise be to Allah, we seek His help and ask for his pardon. we take
refuge in Allah from our wrongs and bad deeds. Who ever been guided
by Allah will not be misled, and who ever has been misled, he will never
be guided. I bear witness that there is no God except Allah-no associates
with Him- and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and
messenger.
One of his many grievances against the Suadi kingdom being too secular

Through its course
of actions the regime has torn off its legitimacy:
(1) Suspension of the Islamic Shari'ah law and exchanging it with man
made civil law. The regime entered into a bloody confrontation with the
truthful Ulamah and the righteous youths (we sanctify nobody; Allah
sanctify Whom He pleaseth).
Or lets ask the Washington Post

Scheuer, however, notes that bin Laden’s 1998 fatwa “was signed by fully credentialed Islamic scholars, thus giving it religious authority;” assemblies of Islamic scholars in Afghanistan and Pakistan then gave the fatwa “confirmation and authorization” shortly after its publication. He said that this approval provided bin Laden’s fatwa with “theological gravitas” that means there will be forever an “an unending debate about whose fatwa was bigger.”
What says you Atlantic?

Bin Laden's militant-Islamic thought represents a fascinating mixture of several strands. To borrow the terminology of Olivier Roy, a French scholar of Islamic radicalism, it is in part "Islamist"; bin Laden has advocated overturning Islamic society politically by toppling or spiritually transforming (through intimidation) its leadership. But bin Laden has not wanted to fracture Islamic society, creating divisions among the faithful that could be exploited by the West or by pro-Western Muslims. Bin Laden's fear of religious division, or fitna, is perhaps the main reason why hatred of the Saudi royal family

Seems like some light reading to me. Dude really committed to the bit. Or may just maybe he was in fact motivated by religion.
LTG you have been and continue to be an intellectual lightweight and all around joke. May God have mercy on your soul.
Dude I actually due this for a living and have a Master's degree in the subject. I will be happy to lock up with clowns like you any day. Anyone can cherry pick. There are plenty of books on the subject of Bin Laden's motivation. One such book the Bin Laden's by Steve Coll perfectly surmises the issue.
Again when you feel like locking up let's rock. This is what the fuck I do. Religion is the American backed narrative. If it were about Islam he would not have volunteered to fight Hussein.
History backs it up. Not right wing spin conducted by message board hacks.
