Christianity has killed more people than anything else by a long-shot. The first and second Crusade, The Spanish Inquisition, Rome after it became Christian, Nazi's, pogroms, etc. The list goes on and on. Muslim extremists have only killed a significant amount of people in the last hundred years or so. Also, the Muslim extremists that kill or do any other sort of related act are going against everything the Islam faith is about, creating peace and helping others. Out of the 1.2 billion Muslims on Earth, less than 6000 are terrorists, it just gets lots of coverage by western news because of oil companies wanting oil and the U.S. government wanting to get rid of the terrorists and of course, tap into the oil reserves too. Also, what are you talking about? Christianity has some of the most intense extremists. Bombing abortion clinics, hanging/shooting Jews and Muslims, Evangelism, polygamy, Jonestown. You sir, sound like you're very isolated from the rest of the world.

This has been covered already. I'd venture to say, based on these statements, that you don't understand Christianity, nor are you very familiar with the teachings of Islam. Read up on it by former Muslims and you will see that it's far more than a religion of peace. It's the latter that everyone focuses on, to the exclusion of the rest of it.
Oh, the government wants to get rid of the terrorists so it can tap into the oil reserves? Which part of your imagination did that come from? And the terrorists flew planes into 3 buildings and killed thousands here, and that was because...what...???
Atheism is a religion-everything is, as everything came out of it. Usually commies killed their multi-millions in the name of the revolution or the state. The sociologist Durkheim found out what we all know and that is that people worship themselves. Their gods are their totems which are their societies. The state or the revolution, or party, or ideologies, or the proletariat, are the gods of the atheistic states and those are the names that they killed with. You atheists that think you don't believe in a personified deity think you can get out from under this? Why because you are some sort of great individual unto yourself? Your people did (atheism is a social movement as it is a category of existence that you identify with as you have no idea if there is a god or not and you certainly can't prove there is not, so you have to find something for meaning) all this murdering while worshiping the state. You really need to get a clue and face what your philosophy/religion has done in the name of ant-god and stop trying to convince yourself you are somehow better than everyone else.
The Bible describes false religion as Babylon the Great. She is described as being drunk on the blood of the prophets or holy ones. She is a harlot in kahoots with the "kings of the earth"....who are warring all the time. What religion hasn't backed it's government in war? At times the same religion backed countries on both sides of the war....WWI and WWII are prime examples. "Christians in Germany backed Hitler and "Christians" on the Allied front backed their respective countries. Priests and Pastors blessed troops on both sides of the war. As such all religion is "blood guilty". Babylon the great is not a government or a commercial entity...because the merchants and the kings weep at her destruction. The things found in her..."the sound of the bride and bridegroom"....the insence....the gold, ivory...etc...and all the material goods....clearly identify Babylon the Great as a religious entity. The fact that modern day religions doctrines are derived from Babylonish doctrines...Trinity...immortal afterlife...hellish punishments...etc. makes them part of Babylon...thus Babylon the Great. See Revelation 17 and 18 for a full description of Babylon the Great.
Islam probably killed the most people. For some strange reason Europeans loved to count and keep records. Muslims just killed and buried the dead. They never kept records so we will never know.
Government has killed far more millions than any religion.
Government has killed 200 million people in the last 100 years alone.
Ironically, people claim that anarchy is violent. I'm not necessarily advocating an anarchic system, but anarchic societies cannot sustain a large scale warfare for an indefinite amount of time such as a strong centralized government that has a central bank under its command.

I'm an anarchist. You are correct. Anarchial societies cannot engage in warfare for very long.
Ireland had no government for about 400 years. No warfare either. And by all accounts they were the wealthiest and most advanced of European societies when Cromwell and the Brits took them over.
I don't know why people associate anarchy with violence. All anarchy is is lack of government.

I thought it was for 1,100 years. You might be confusing Ireland with Medieval Iceland.
However, Ireland did have warfare, but it wasn't sustained nor was it substantial.
The only "un-anarchic" thing about Ireland and Iceland is that you must belong to a legal system which was "privately" owned. However, you were free to leave and choose a different legal system upon your own accord.
