Sucking up to Hitler as a Christian leader, just like Drumpf has been sucked up to: Half a billion people killed by Christianity

 Most Americans assume that being a “Christian nation” automatically makes us more moral. History shows the opposite is true. We’re taught the Nazis were uniquely evil - but almost no one learns that Germany in 1939 was 95% Christian. Hitler did not rise in a secular society. He rose in one of the most Christian populations in modern history, where churches either collaborated or stayed silent. And this isn’t an isolated case. Across 2,000 years, whenever Christianity becomes a dominant political identity rather than a personal spiritual path, atrocities follow. Below is just a partial list of mass death carried out directly by Christian institutions or justified under Christian ideology: • Crusades (1096–1291): 1–3 million killed • Inquisition (12th–19th c.): ~30,000 executed • Witch Hunts (15th–18th c.): 40k–60k killed • Indigenous genocide in the Americas (1492–1900): ~56 million • Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade: ~12 million enslaved; ~2 million died in transit • European colonial violence in Africa/Asia: 30–50 million • British policies in India (18th–19th c.): 30–50 million • Taiping Rebellion (Christian messianic state): 20–50 million • Thirty Years’ War (Christian Europe): 4–8 million • Reformation & Counter-Reformation wars: 3–5 million • Northern Crusades (Baltic peoples): 1–2 million • Irish conquest & famines: 1–3 million • Herero & Nama genocide: 60–100k • Indigenous residential schools: thousands to hundreds of thousands • Sexual abuse in Christian institutions: hundreds of thousands (at minimum) Total: ~300–450 million deaths from Christian-led or Christian-justified violence. That’s not a moral safeguard. That’s a historical warning sign. The uncomfortable truth is this: Whenever Christianity becomes a political identity instead of a personal spirituality, violence becomes “God’s will.” And majorities that believe they hold divine authority become capable of anything. That’s why the decline of Christianity in America is not a moral crisis - it is what’s currently saving us from an authoritarian theocracy. Only about 60% of Americans are Christian today, compared to 90% in the 1950s. That religious pluralism - not Christian dominance - is the main barrier preventing the rise of Christofascism. This is why Christian nationalists are panicking. Their demographic power is collapsing. And they know that without a Christian supermajority, their dream of a theocratic government dies. The lesson from history is brutally clear: More Christianity has never made societies more moral. But it has often made them more dangerous. Morality comes from conscience, compassion, and accountability, not from political religion.
