Christianity has been behind more crimes against humanity than any other religious or political belief, with Islam coming a close second. The Crusades, the Inquisition, the witch burnings, the Holocaust, and I know I'm missing quite a bit more atrocities!
That's a hell of a precarious position to preach love and acceptance from.
