Some societies in the 20th century rejected all organized religion and belief in God (Communist Russian, Chinese and Cambodian Regimes). Yet each still produced massive violence against its own people.
We can not allow ourselves to reject Christianity based solely on the fact that violence was done in the name of Christianity.
What say you?

Violence is defined by the World Health Organization as "the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, which either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation", although the group acknowledges that the inclusion of "the use of power" in its definition expands on the conventional understanding of the word. This definition involves intentionality with the committing of the act itself, irrespective of the outcome it produces. However, generally, anything that is excited in an injurious or damaging way may be described as violent even if not meant to be violence (by a person and against a person).
