That, and if you speak to Sir Owen in the Legends' or Heroes' Guilds, he may mention a story about when he infiltrated a Kinshra fortress, assassinating a few men with a crossbow from a cupboard. Ozan asked him why he did this, when knight code (Chivalry) commonly states to let your opponent pick up a weapon, and announce your presence. Owen replied, rather simply, the Temple Knights were not restricted by this code to get their job done.

Similarly, I can presume the Kinshra weren't nessacerily all Zamorakian at first. They may well have been agnostic, drawing Zamorakians seeking freedom from religous binds. But, when the White Knights gained power, they eventually outpowered the Kinshra in influence. Any "true" Saradominist would have heard this propaganda, and joined the White Knights. Now, only darker-aligned agnostics, athiests, and Zamorakians signed on for the Kinshra. It was only a matter of time before they took the leadership roles.

As a note on burning villages, its actually a common war strategy called "Total Warfare." The idea behind Total Warfare is to hurt not only the government, but the resources that supply it. It doesn't nessacerily make them evil, but it does mean they are caring little for the Civilians harmed by this as well.
