I can think of a few example offhand, SMW--the Spanish Inquisistion--the Catholic persecution of the Moors (Muslims) and Jews--- the various pogroms against Jews by Christians-- in Eastern Europe throught the Middle Ages and even into modern times, the Aztecs being wiped out by the conquistadores, tho an argument could be made that the Spaniards desired their downfall because of greed, and not religion.
......and then there's the Third Reich. Hitler always claimed he was fighting a religious war and no other.]
Ancient history aside, Ren... all the Christians I've ever known have been peace-loving people. Guess I just missed out on ever meeting any vigilante bible thumpers. And I think it's a stretch for non-believers to reach back in time to try and prove they exist.
