Yeah exactly. If you look at the top bad guys of last century, the names that will roll into your head should be; stalin, mao, hitler, pol pot. And what you will notice as none of those guys had a paticular religion and were maybe even anti religion. So the idea that religion is the thing that causes the harm doesnt make any sense.
I will tell you this once because I feel like I am going to waste my time, but maybe it will stick. Christianity has a bunch of rules, and it has nothing to do with controlling people, it has to do with the best functioning society and what is actually good for people. It is the reason why western civilization has done so well for so many centuries. Things like cheating on your wife is bad for society and for the individuals, that is why it is prohibited. My comment is an outside observation of what the religion of christianity does, other religions have different features.
Probably not possible to accurately know. Death tolls from all major offenders in the millions

Hitler called himself a Christian.
Hitler was not a christian, he literally wanted to get the christian influence out of german society.
Christianity has killed way more than those individuals could ever dream of
Sure thing bro, commands like “love thy neighbor” just throw people into a murderous craze!
What about two commandments for cheating on your wife? A greater sin than murder lol
It only exists to control people

The rules of Christianity aren’t written in the Bible.
That is exactly where the are written.
Yeah, that was bait that you shouldn’t have taken.
Now I can point to the peculiar rules of every Christian sect and ask whether those rules are Christian commandments, or Clergy controls.
