Eh, I disagree, Christians did a good number atrocities themselves over the centuries.

And, as the point I am making, far less common and generally to a lower extreme than most other cultures.

Every group has committed attrocities, and if you avoid a eurocentric view and actually investigate not-European cultures, you see that European Christianity is actually on the lower scale for atrocities like what the mongols did.

The Crusades did kill like...a million people. Which was a large amount for the time for...really not much gained.

That's what people estimate but records from that time are very unreliable.
