The periods of history in school which would completely blacken one's view of Christianity are normally avoided.
The disintegration on Roman civilization and technology into the Dark Ages mainly due to Christianity was not mentioned at school.
I think that the this period of around the 4th century when Christian fanatics like Theodosius became in control of the Roman Empire is one of the most important in history.
We never get to hear about the Baltic crusades or the Christianization of Scandinavia.
There is a general bias against the Vikings because they were Pagans and non English/non Latin speaking.
They are portrayed as violent and uncultured but I do not think they any more brutal than Christian civilizations during the Dark Ages such as the Normans.
