Ummmm... Hey Shane... Have you read what the very-much-not-theistic Soviets did in Ukraine during 1932-1933? Or what the very-much-pagan Nazis did in the Holocaust? Or the body count from Pol Pot's massacres? It's fair to say that some Christians have distorted their beliefs and it has had murderous results. But "No one kills with more passion than someone who believes that God is on their side" is, historically speaking, ridiculous. What's more accurate, after the enlightenment, and after the possibility of industrialized murder was invented, is more aligned with Dostoyevsky's idea — "without God, everything is permitted." And that has been the case.
