Liberal progressive atheists slaughtered over 100 million people over the past century.

And btw Christianity generally did NOT spread through conquest.

Take the Roman empire, it became Christian as the populace converted peacefully despite persecution. Or the British isles. The Romans pulled out of Britain and it was invaded by pagan Angles and Saxons and later by Norse and Danes. The Anglo-Saxons were converted after one of the Popes, I believe Gregory, sent about 40 missionaries to them. The Celts of Ireland and Scotland converted peacefully through the work of missionaries too. They were never conquered by Romans or by a Christian power before converting. The same applies to the German and Slavic tribes. They pretty much all converted on their own.

For that matter consider modern Africa, Christianity really took off there AFTER the age of colonization and normally through the work of native preachers.
