Of all the homicidal governments in history, the Nazi death machine is the best known. The estimated total of 21,000,000 people murdered in cold blood places the Nazis in third place as the most democidal government of the century, behind the Soviets and the Chinese communists

Do a little work...research religion for about 5 minutes and youll find that every religion has murdered in their name. Christian religions, such as the Roman Catholics, may have murdered millions of people to quell revolts or from turning people against them.\n\nAll in the name of the most loving God.

I'm not sure that we know. The sources I found said that 30,000 people died, but there are "no detailed records."

Go count up the number of humans the "God" of the Bible caused the death of then count up the number "Satan" killed. Methinks they got the labels mixed up ; )

Religious fanaticism.  More people have been viciously slaughtered in the name of a merciful God than have died of any other cause throughout history.

They have both shamelessly killed millions. Obviously not paying attention to Gods words at all. I use to joke around and say "kill them all and let God sort them out". Not so funny any more.

It's probably God.  He lets 30,000 people starve to death EVERY SINGLE DAY.

No I don't think so,Just look at how many people he have killed!

The Eritreans?  Actually, your information is wholly inadequate to give a serious answer.  So, I suppose the ones who did the killing.  But, it depends on why you call the dead innocent and for what reason those who were killing killed.

Yes. It has caused so much suffering\n\nListed are only events that solely occurred on command of church authorities or were committed in the name of Christianity. (List incomplete) \nAncient Pagans\n\nAs soon as Christianity was legal (315), more and more pagan temples were destroyed by Christian mob. Pagan priests were killed. \nBetween 315 and 6th century thousands of pagan believers were slain. \nExamples of destroyed Temples: the Sanctuary of Aesculap in Aegaea, the Temple of Aphrodite in Golgatha, Aphaka in Lebanon, the Heliopolis. \nChristian priests such as Mark of Arethusa or Cyrill of Heliopolis were famous as "temple destroyer." [DA468] \nPagan services became punishable by death in 356. [DA468] \nChristian Emperor Theodosius (408-450) even had children executed, because they had been playing with remains of pagan statues. [DA469]\nAccording to Christian chroniclers he "followed meticulously all Christian teachings..." \nIn 6th century pagans were declared void of all rights. \nIn the early fourth century the philosopher Sopatros was executed on demand of Christian authorities. [DA466] \nThe world famous female philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria was torn to pieces with glass fragments by a hysterical Christian mob led by a Christian minister named Peter, in a church, in 415.\n[DO19-25] \nMission\n\nEmperor Karl (Charlemagne) in 782 had 4500 Saxons, unwilling to convert to Christianity, beheaded. [DO30] \nPeasants of Steding (Germany) unwilling to pay suffocating church taxes: between 5,000 and 11,000 men, women and children slain 5/27/1234 near Altenesch/Germany. [WW223] \nBattle of Belgrad 1456: 80,000 Turks slaughtered. [DO235] \n15th century Poland: 1019 churches and 17987 villages plundered by Knights of the Order. Victims unknown. [DO30] \n16th and 17th century Ireland. English troops "pacified and civilized" Ireland, where only Gaelic "wild Irish", "unreasonable beasts lived without any knowledge of God or good manners, in common of their goods, cattle, women, children and every other thing." One of the more successful soldiers, a certain Humphrey Gilbert, half-brother of Sir Walter Raleigh, ordered that "the heddes of all those (of what sort soever thei were) which were killed in the daie, should be cutte off from their bodies... and should bee laied on the ground by eche side of the waie", which effort to civilize the Irish indeed caused "greate terrour to the people when thei sawe the heddes of their dedde fathers, brothers, children, kinsfolke, and freinds on the grounde".\nTens of thousands of Gaelic Irish fell victim to the carnage. [SH99, 225] \nCrusades (1095-1291)\n\nFirst Crusade: 1095 on command of pope Urban II. [WW11-41] \nSemlin/Hungary 6/24/96 thousands slain. Wieselburg/Hungary 6/12/96 thousands. [WW23] \n9/9/96-9/26/96 Nikaia, Xerigordon (then turkish), thousands respectively. [WW25-27] \nUntil Jan 1098 a total of 40 capital cities and 200 castles conquered (number of slain unknown) [WW30] \nafter 6/3/98 Antiochia (then turkish) conquered, between 10,000 and 60,000 slain. 6/28/98 100,000 Turks (incl. women & children) killed. [WW32-35]\nHere the Christians "did no other harm to the women found in [the enemy's] tents - save that they ran their lances through their bellies," according to Christian chronicler Fulcher of Chartres. [EC60] \nMarra (Maraat an-numan) 12/11/98 thousands killed. Because of the subsequent famine "the already stinking corpses of the enemies were eaten by the Christians" said chronicler Albert Aquensis. [WW36] \nJerusalem conquered 7/15/1099 more than 60,000 victims (jewish, muslim, men, women, children). [WW37-40]\n(In the words of one witness: "there [in front of Solomon's temple] was such a carnage that our people were wading ankle-deep in the blood of our foes", and after that "happily and crying for joy our people marched to our Saviour's tomb, to honour

I have to answer you question the way you asked it. Satanists killed more people for the purpose of their religion.Christians and those claiming to be, killed people for greed,selfishness and false freedom, not for their religion.

That is an almost impossible figure to know since every culture in the world from before recorded history have used bows and throwing devices of some sort.\n\nAlso, very few people conducted body counts, much less wrote them down (if they even knew what writing was).  The figure could be into the hundreds of millions through the thousands of years humans had the bow.

Columbia has the highest murder rate on earth.  90% of the population is Christian.

Your missing the biggest mass murderers ever.  \n\nStalins kill total made Hitler look like a noob at mass murder. The most conservitive estimates are around 10 million with most estimates closer to 100 million. \n\nMao Tse Tung - He gets the credit but he was just one of several Chinese leaders who created the waves of genocide that chewed up China for decades. Again at least 10 million dead from re-education camps, executions and such.  Many dead from starvation due to Government policy. \n\nAfter those two groups you have the wannabes like Hitler.  The Nazi toll is between 4-7 million by most esitmates. Very similer to Pol Pots but nowhere near what Stalin and Mao Tse Tung managed to do. \n\nIdi Amin - At last 3 mill from what I understand. \n\nPol Pot - Around 4 mill with conservitive estimates. \n\nSaliden - Hundreds of thousands of Jews and Christians executed when he retook the "Holy lands" \n\nCrusaders -  Hundreds of thousands  of Jews and Muslims when they conquered the Holy land. Both Christian and Islamic armies typically put the entire population of captured cities to the sword. \n\nThe leaders of the Spanish Inquisition. The Inquisitions were a Europe wide event at the instigation of a corrupt Pope. The Spanish however were the most enthusiastic about it and continued it the longest. Heritics, "witches" Jews who would not convert and anybody who gained disfavor were tortured and often executed. \n\nJapanese in Asia. One of the most poignent images was one of Japanese soldiers carrying Chinese babies spiked on thier bayonettes. Whether that gruesome rumor is true or not, it does represent Japanese atrociites in captured lands and against captured POWs.  Millions of civillians  died under Japanese rule in China, the Philipines, Burma during WWII. Tens of thousands of POWs as well. In Manilla alone the Japanese were said to have killed 10,000 civillians in the last days before it was liberated by US troops. \n\nThe Iranian revolutionary party - Initiated a cleansing after taking power and to this day people out of favor with the Iranian Gov disapeer. \n\nThe Shah of Iran  - His secret police had a habit of making people disapeer. How many is hard to say since the Gov that suceeded him was even more brutal. \n\nSadam Husian - 30,000 just with Kurds he gassed. A million or more executed in jails or just taken out and shot for the mere suspicion of disagreeing with the Bath party or Sadam. Ordered Kurdish children into machine gun fire to run them out of ammo and allow reguler troops to advance. Commited many attrocities against the Shiate populations in the south of Iraq. One of Hussain's sons personally enjoyed killing and on a reguler basis was known to kidnap women then later execute them as well as just randomly shooting people he took a dislike too, including one that got him in trouble with his daddy. \n\nEnglish Occupation of Ireland. In particuler during the potato famine. The Irish grew enough food to support Ireland but much of it was diverted to England. The Irish worked the land but it was owned primarily by English landlords. So potatoes became the primary food source for the Irish as the rest was exported to England. Britan silently watched millions of Irish starve while they consumed food grown or raised in Ireland.  Beyond that were many small attrocities such as the terror from the Black and Tans. If you combine that with causualties in frequent rebellions and those executed for disloyalty to England you have probably a 10 million toll over a 300 year period ending witht he potatoe famine. \n\nSpanish conquests, millions of Mayans and Incas were executed in mass numbers by Spanish conlonists. Far greater than all of the US Indian wars combined. All of this in a short 50 year span. Disease then took over to help elimanate whole tribes. \n\nWestern slave trade. Over a 200 year period at least 500,000 African slaves died in the holds of slave ships, were worked to death or otherwi
