That's two ridiculous unwarranted conclusions in only two sentences. Congrats on being efficient.
Given the history of Christian behavior over the centuries, I'd say his point is supported quite well.
Christians, like any other humans, are very capable of atrocities. Look it up.

What's wrong with a little killing? Hell, you worship a god who not only ordered his chosen people to commit genocide, he killed all but seven humans in the world for their imperfections ... which he had built into them in the first place.
One could make the argument that that is tacit approval.
Or, if you want something more concrete:
Quote:2 Now Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria and injured himself. So he sent messengers, saying to them, “Go and consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, to see if I will recover from this injury.”
3 But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Go up and meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going off to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron?’
4 Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘You will not leave the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!’ ” So Elijah went.
5 When the messengers returned to the king, he asked them, “Why have you come back?”
6 “A man came to meet us,” they replied. “And he said to us, ‘Go back to the king who sent you and tell him, “This is what the LORD says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending messengers to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not leave the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!” ’ ”
7 The king asked them, “What kind of man was it who came to meet you and told you this?”
8 They replied, “He had a garment of hair and had a leather belt around his waist.” The king said, “That was Elijah the Tishbite.”

Pretty clear message: believe in Yahweh or die.
