I see what you're getting at, but that really only seems to apply to the last 50 years or so, if that. Let's not forget the crusades and witch trials. Then you have World War 1, World War 2, and Vietnam. I don't think that at any point in our history as a species, has there been more killing and genocide than in World War 2, and right now we seem to be going down the same road again. All of this is after Christianity. I don't think Christianity is solely to blame, however. I think that hunger for power and money supersedes that and unfortunately the human race has been like that for a long time. I think right now people are starting to wake up, but the leadership does not seem to care.
There is one Christian belief that I am completely against, and believe it should be removed from their religious doctrine. That's the belief that anybody who does not accept Jesus as their lord and savior is damned to burn in hell for eternity. This is not only a scare tactic to gain more followers, but also teaches intolerance to others and puts their followers on a pedestal over other religions. I believe that they (and other religions like Islam) should teach that all different religions are equal, and really just have a different way of going about the same thing.
