In the early "Church," more Christians were put to death by fellow Christians (usually for "heresy") than were ever put to death by the Romans.
The Church has to answer for the barbarities of the Crusades and the Inquisition and, at least with the Catholic Church, millenia of anti-Semitism.
Native Americans, and natives of South America, were treated brutally by empire-building, Christians conquerors.
Slavery lasted ~50 years longer in the USA than it did in England, principally because of the strong support for slavery among Southern Christians.
The guards pulling the levers in German gas chambers during the Holocaust weren't Jewish; they were overwhelmingly Catholic and Protestant.
The Catholic Church supported the tyrannical military dictatorship in Argentina, responsible for up to 30,000 deaths and disappearances. {The Church actually apologized, years later.)
The uber-Christian Guatemalan dictator, Rios Montt, one of Ronald Reagan's favorites, was notorious for his savagery. And during the ghastly "Dirty Wars," every U.S.-supported, tyrannical Latin American dictator was a Christian. Uber-Catholic Pinochet actually hosted Pope John Paul II as a guest!
In the Kosovo Wars, Christians were vastly more violent toward innocent Muslims than visa versa.
And during the Vietnam War, American soldiers, overwhelmingly Christian, committed myriad atrocities that were covered up by our own military, a fact proven by once-secret documents in Nick Turse's excellent new book, "Kill Anything that Moves."
So, Gordon, It's time to own up: Christians are NUMBER ONE! Muslims don't even come close.
What rubbish!
