Hi @eurogee, might be a bit early to denounce your faith! Remember this is simply the birth of the Christianity and the religion has come a long way since them. In more recent times many famous scientists who made startling breakthroughs were very religious. Think of Gregor Mendel, William Turner and Robert Boyle.

I don't think the goal here is religion bashing, so much as to paint a picture of how any group when given too much power and with a lack of tolerence can commit atrocities.
