Probably that one that is really violent but whose enemies insist it's about peace.

Then, that would be Christianity. Christians have killed more people in history than all other religions combined.

From Catholics, to Reform Protestants, from the Spanish, to Rome itself, and then in the name of religion in the new world.

Christianity is guilty as hell

@CassandraFemale17: An estimated 90 million Hindus slaughtered over the centuries by Muslim conquests into India. That's as much as both world wars combined, and this is only one country affected so.

@LucyRocks: hundreds of years of Christian persecution including not only wars, but mass killings within their own countries.

Christians still win.
They have had 2,000 years of practice to be thrown off by a mere 50 years of someone trying to beat their record in numbers killed. They don't want to lose their record.

If you think there isn't some semblance of the 'righteous' wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere in the Middle East by the 'Christian West' you are fooling yourself.

@CassandraFemale17: i didn't contest your claim. You just assumed I did. And Islam hasn't been trying to catch up for the past 50 years, as you implied.

@LucyRocks: I didn't think you were contesting anything. I was merely replying to your own reply.

I respect what you are saying. I thought we are both merely adding to the discussion, not taking one another down.

Sorry, if you read it like that. I certainly hadn't intended it that way.

Respect.

@CassandraFemale17: Christianity and Islam were spread by force and mass killing sometimes. Even nowadays, when a religious groups has some leverage over politicians, be sure that nation will have some war be it internal or with another country.
