Not another topic about Hitler! There have been many genocides but I guess Hitler's is the most popularized.
I mean take 19th century where some 10 to 20 million innocent people were killed by Christian overlords in Congo Free State. British consul Roger Casement was sent to Africa to investigate its progress in 1904. and discovered enslavement of natives, cold-blooded killings, mutilations, hangings, and atrocious collateral death by poor conditions and lack of health care, leading to the arrest of European officials who had perpetrated the despicable acts.
The atrocities were rationalized by “Manifest Destiny“ dogmas and politics —Divine Providence which justifies annexation of lands held by "inferior" races or "heathens," and the Christian Bible approval of slavery.

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"
