I personally have no problems with Christians or anyone else believing what they want. But when they try to force those beliefs on everyone else claiming absolute truth and knowledge on matters of the divine then I get pissed off. When you bring up atrocities committed by Christians I love it when they reply that that was in the Old Testament and no longer applies. Or as my good friend fr0d0 likes to say they were going against their religion.
Matthew 5:17-19
17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Depending on how you interpret this Jesus did not make the law obsolete with his so called new covenant. In regards to the witch hunts they were just following the commandment of the Lord in Exodus 22:18 which simply states: "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live". If you try hard enough you can find justification for every atrocity known to man in the bible.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
