RE: Why are Christians so ignorant of their religions history and it's crimes

Yeah it's ignorance. You really have to remember that Christianity has it's own version of the history from the beginning to the present day. For instance watch this video of Dawkins debating catholic priest from Vatican who is presenting Vatican's version of history

and also their definition of "bad". Only on surface you'll hear Christians denouncing inquisition, holocaust of Jews, crusades, mistreatment of women... but if you look closer you'll see they hate people of other religions, if you're not baptized you're not even human being to most of them. They also write articles in newspapers how not one Jew died in 9/11 WTC crash, put women in prisons for abortions, some don't allow them into priesthood.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
