Well, while Yahweh has supposedly killed billions of people he isn't technically a murderer because he is supposed to be God, which is a different creature.  He would have to be human in order to be classified as a murderer.  If you kill a chicken or a hog or a bug you aren't considered to be a murderer.  The people who kill on his behalf are murderers.  If you kill a cow in India the Hindi will kill you because you have killed their god, represented by the cow.

Jesus never killed anyone, and specifically taught us not to.
According to the fairy tale Jesus will throw your butt into the lake of fire if you tell him to get lost.  And when he returns he destroys the environment, kills all like, and blows up the world.  He's a true nutcase.
