From what I have seen, christian's are more docile. That's just my experience in life not a fact.
"I dont do that" only refures to the reaction of the abused remembering their own abuse, but the mistake is that we are still talking about short term memory. Christians during the dark ages and even in the colonies were as tribal and bloodthirsty as Islam is today.
Even prior to the ratification of the Constitution, Jefferson managed to convince a very dogmatic Baptist leaning Va legistlature who feared northern Catholics, that their own designs on religious law were as bad as the Catholics they rightfully accused at the time.
He ended up writing the Virginia Religious Freedom act, in a very sectarian dogmatic state and it passed. It later became the prototype Madison based the First Amendment on.

YES THEY ARE CHRISTIANS, but so are Baptists and Mormons. Just like Sunnis and Shiites are both Muslims.
Here is where the logic of every sky dady claimant of all sects of all religions fuck up in use of logic.
The theist mistake details as being original when there has always been even prior to their favorte flavor of mind junk food, junk food.
I hate this tactic when marketing of a popular superstition is all that is going on. But the claim of an invisible friend has been arround as long as people thought vocanos were gods and animals were gods.
Claiming that one invented god is as stupid as Coke or Pepsi invented the idea of liquids because they are soda. Junk food is junk food and all god claims of polytheist or monotheist are nothing but our own narccisistic anthropmorphic junk food.
