I get your point though, religon has often been used as fuel for killing... as has ideology in general. I just saw "Catholic killed a couple of million people", and took exception to that specific statement... but not the overall point.

I meant to add the Crusades in there and you're easily over a million.
Agreed with your second point. And it hasn't 'just' been Christianity. Religion, if used by a tool to control people has often resulted in innocent people being killed.
