And it is shocking how many people are duped into believing that fairytales from the Bible really happened. Like the atheist Louis Theroux who is here talking to a christian who is telling him how "Jews killed Jesus" and Louis first says "It was the Romans who crucified him", but then the christian insists "It was Jews who called for it." to which Louis says something like "Well, it was a Jewish country so some Jews were involved." No, Louis, Jews didn't have anything to do with it. It's made up. There was not Jewish custom where Jews pick Barabbas at Passover.

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"
