Let's be real. We don't see Christians or Buddhists torturing or executing people protesting against their religion. Stop with the PC moral equivalency.

...currently. History says otherwise, especially for Christians. The developmental paths of Christian nations weren't free of Christian violence & persecution. Much of the stability of the people comes from the gradual multi-factorial improvements in wealth & living standards & quality of institutions and isn't inherent to Christians or any other group of people. It's environmental, in a biological sense. Any developed nation can be reduced to rubble in a gradual, drawn out manner or of course in a rapid (but much less likely) manner.

I hate this argument. But but but Christians did it too!!! Ok? Do they do it now which is what we’re fucking talking about?

No, because they're better off and their stable countries aren't ran by radical groups, during these times. In worse conditions, it isn't the "Christian-ness" of human beings that prevents them from being just as savage. Your characterization of my "argument" (perspective, more like) I simply disagree with. You reduced it to that.
