I don't think that articles sounds like anything like that was occurring, so I think you are trying to blow things out of proportion.
You might also note, that while things like the inquisition unfortunately did take place, a lot of what occurred can be attributed to the problem of mixing religion with politics. These type of things where geographically and chronologically isolated for the most part. That is they occurred in a particular time and place, and don't necessarily reflect the ideology of Christianity. Interestingly enough I've heard the idea, that "freedom of religion" only makes sense in Christianity.
