No.. I'm not even advocating all that, its pretty terrible too. Millions have been killed by religion, but many more by atheistic ideologies. It doesn't excuse religious persecution, but in the case of Christ's teachings, people taking up arms or persecuting people under the guise of Christianity are opposing what the Bible teaches. Hypocrisy among nominal Christians doesn't discredit Jesus' teachings - it shows how lost we are without them. Hypocrisy is a terrible thing, but it is man-made and has nothing to do with the existence of God.

I'm also not excusing Muslim methods at all - I'm Christian, not a general theist. No.. I was only saying that I feel Atheism is not a solid foundation, so I personally do not choose to follow it. That's to say nothing bad about atheists themselves, but while atheists act morally in spite of atheistic ideology, Christians acting immorally are doing so in spite of Christ's teaching. Without a doubt, I think the religious guise for persecution and immorality reveals the worst type of people, but thay doesn't make atheism a more valid philosophy. And hold that atheism is an ideology by the dictionary definition. Ideology has nothing to do with morality, per se.
You make zero sense.

If belief in Christ doesn't make a person good, then what's the point of saying your religion is better? It has no effect on its followers.

What is the point of being morally superior to atheism on paper if it has no effect on what happens in real life?

I brought up Islam, but if you want to look solely into Christianity that's ok too. Crusades and witch burning. We'll start with those and then move on to the priests molesting altar boys.
