INTRODUCTION
Many people dislike organized religion in general - not just Christianity.
Some people blame organized religion for most of history's killings.
It is also sometimes claimed that more people have been killed in the name of Christ than for any other reason.
Is this true, and is Christ or his teaching to blame?
1. Deaths Attributed to Christianity
Crusades and Inquisitions
The total number of deaths estimated to lie at the feet of humanity's poor practice of Christianity is approximately 17 million.
Ancient Wars in Old Testament
On what basis do we believe killings were attributed or authorized by God?
THE BIBLE
The Old Testament reveals God ordered Israel to attack and destroy certain peoples and cities.
In every such case, the people or city targeted for destruction had been rebuked by God hundreds of years before and urged to repent.
The terrible killings of the Crusades, Inquisitions, and early Reformation periods are not outlined or even suggested in the Bible.
The Bible never ordered the slaughter of Muslims, Jews, Protestant Christians, or Catholic Christians.
These deaths were carried out by fanatical and biblically illiterate people
Deaths Attributed to Non-Christianity
Hitler's Germany exterminated 6 million Jews and killed about 9 million Christians
Stalin purges in the Russian republics prior to and continuing after World War II killed roughly 40 to 60 million people
Mao's China 25 million killed or intentionally starved
Mussolini, ruler ships within Ethiopia, Uganda, Rwanda, Sudan, Iraq
