That's a pretty laughable question when you consider: Most Christians believe Jews are condemned by God to an eternity of inhuman suffering in hell. You forgot Hindus, Buddhists, Muslim, etc. What difference does that make when the issue is killing masses of people? The Bible condones genocide. Wrong tense. It does not condone genocide. Christians are the perpetrators of virtually all of Europe's (and Russia's) pogroms against the Jews. No doubt. But as horrible as they were, they were much less than the mass slaughters of the Nazis and Communists. And of course the historic hatred of Jews professed by the Catholic Church and by Martin Luther (to name two) is well known... I have made no claim Christians, or religious people in general, can't commit atrocities. I did question whether teaching people that humans are just other animals and there is no God to judge us would make mass slaughter more easy to justify. The short bloody record of Communist and Nazi regimes make that question reasonable.
