Christianity went a good three centuries without the use of violence to spread the faith.  All of the conversion to Christianity in recent history has been peaceful.

When does this "recent history" start?

Last 70 years, give or take a few years.

So a few years of doing the right thing eliminates centuries of murder.

Ok.

Let's hope God is as forgiving as you are.

Our courts sure would not be as they prefer justice be done.

Christianity certainly has a better record than atheism, if you look at the 20th century.

Of course, I understand that the Atheist down the street has nothing to do with Joseph Stalin just like I have nothing to do with the Crusades.
