The highest estimates for deaths during the Crusades is 9M, most believe 3M. That was over 700 years ago. the Marxists are racking up far larger tallies in the last 100 years. So far over 6M since 2019. And if you want to compare atrocities, the CCP removes the organa of political prisoners and sells the to people needing a transplant. Today, in this time.

At the time of the Crusades the global population was something like a fiftieth or a thirtieth what it is now, and the Crusaders rode on horseback for hundreds of miles. But, oh, "only 3-9 million," brutally slaughtered in the name of a preposterous belief. That would be equivalent to murdering 100-500 million today. Your dismissal of this is nothing short of monstrous.
I don't think that anyone commenting is defending the CCP. That misses the point.
Create a table of groups that have committed atrocities and/or other great evils, both conflating political ideology and religion as you have done and separating them in discrete groups. A jumbo statistical table of evil. Where would the Christian group be? How about other religions that have gods, but a different one from yours? Are they atheists if they have the wrong god?
Could you draw a line anywhere on the chart and say that one side of the line is evil and the other not? If you are a Christian, you could not because every line falls short of righteousness in the eyes of the Lord. Therefore, to what end does such a ranking serve?
That is the difficulty with your premise. You wrote that the problem is with the atheists, agnostics and I would venture to guess the religions with what you might call false gods. But your believers are on that table too, and I would venture to opine that they are not the bottom line, as if that mattered from a religious (Christian?) standpoint.
This commentary is about "People wanting someone to blame" which you are doing while being absolutely convinced that their view is the correct one. I understand that revealed religions demand certainty. That is the relevance of your stated opinion to the conversation, I guess. Can you see why that gives some people pause?

Marxist agenda, Marxist regimes, Marxist atrocities. And believing in God guarantees morality.
Keep up with current events? Six Catholics just guaranteed the deaths of many thousands of women and the birth of many deformed children.
No, IтАЩm not interested in comparing atrocities. I believe that republicans will do the exact same thing given the chance.
I donтАЩt know where you read this stuff but I think your notion that Marxism is the root of all evil is simpleminded.
