no cause killed so many.
I wonder. Certainly there were many campaigns of violence by the church, but killing in the days of the crusades was fairly limited by the weaponry available, and the Inquisition, though brutal, didn't actually kill that many people. I'm not sure the cause of Christianity as many as, counting both world wars and all the Prussian campaigns that led up to them, the cause of German nationalism, or the cause of colonialism (wiped out most of the native populations of the Americas, and was truly colonialism and not religion at work) or even the cause of Communism when you count the purges in Russia, the Korean war, the Vietnam war, the Chinese revolution, etc.
Do you have any statistics to support your contention? |
