Many of the greatest wars were started in the name of some god and some religion. Believing in a higher, benevolent power doesn't really stop people from commiting atrocities.
Ya, Christanity itself has caused some F'd up stuff in the world. One of the funniest parts of the bible to me is it's stated very clearly that we aren't supposed to kill other people. What was saddom and gammorah (i know i butchered the spelling of those cities but i'm too lazy to look it up)? We aren't supposed to kill but God can slaughter people at will? Sure the bible says the city was corrupt and evil but I doubt every person there was evil.
This is of course assuming God exists and he was the one that destroyed those cities and it wasn't something else the idiots... erm... scholors at the time attributed to God because they didn't know what was going on.
