   The Islamic conquest of India, with around a hundred million dead. It was worse than Islam's jihad conquering mostly Christian Iraq and Egypt because pagan Hindus couldn't even get some protection per Shariah law if they could afford the jizya tax.

   I'd have to say that Muslims cutting off people's heads for not converting to or practicing Islam, mutilating women, and forcing young, young girls to get married to middle aged men.  Also, the intent to destroy the USA and the West.  You can say that Christianity is bad, but Christians never said they were out to destroy a population.  The Crusades was a response to Muslim oppression.  King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella were Catholic, but I think their motive behind the Inquisition was to dominate and have total control over people, plus they were anti-Semites and drove the Moors out of Spain in order to take over the country.  In the Old Covenant, God leads His people into war against people who have done terrible things like sacrifice babies and children to false gods, and they would not repent.  God at times sent people to those civilizations to tell them to repent.  But that's God telling people to do that in the Old Testament, the old covenant, and there were no Christians then, so you can't blame Christianity for that.  Jewish people are about the most peaceful people you can imagine.

      "Christians never said they were out to destroy a population" - Christians DESTROYED the Native Americans! They stole their land, their lives, their way of life. They did the same to the Aztecs and Mayans. It was the largest genocide on Earth!

      I beg to differ.  I think the largest genocide on earth was the Holocaust, and we know they weren't Christians.  When the Conquistadors saw the bloody violent alters that the Aztecs/Mayans had, they were appalled.  Sickness killed them, not the men.

   Evil thing done in the name of a religion? Between 5th century to 17th century, that is what the western world is all about. We know till 17th century, China was the most powerful nation in the world, for the past 1000 years (except a little while during the 13th century, where Mongolia was more powerful), but do you know prior to the Christian era, the Roman Empire was equally powerful? There are a lot of historian debating if China vs Rome, who would actually win.
   
   And the bible teach a lot of f***ed up things
   
   Deuteronomy 22:20-22 [But if the thing is true, that evidence of virginity was not found in the young woman, then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done an outrageous thing in Israel by whoring in her father's house.] Thus according to it, we shall kill a woman for not been a virgin (EVIL)
   
   Chronicles 15:12-13 [And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul, but that whoever would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether young or old, man or woman.] So, according to the bible u must kill a non believer (EVIL!!!)
   
   Deuteronomy 17:2-5 [If there is found among you, within any of your towns that the Lord your God is giving you, a man or woman who does what is evil in the sight of the Lord your God, in transgressing his covenant, and has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, or the sun or the moon or any of the host of heaven, which I have forbidden, and it is told you and you hear of it, then you shall inquire diligently, and if it is true and certain that such an abomination has been done in Israel, then you shall bring out to your gates that man or woman who has done this evil thing, and you shall stone that man or woman to death with stones.] This kind of remind me of those cults that try to control people by getting their followers to all live in a concentrated area and if anybody try to leave or question the religion, those people would be killed.
   
   These are just a few, there are so many more, which unfortunetly because there is a limitation to the text box here, I can not point out all. But these are some of the main one. Despite the bible claim to be Holy, it is nothing more the a book of evil.
