It sounds to me that you are saying that if Christians do terrible things, that shouldn't reflect badly on Christianity. Is that really your point of view, that we cannot judge an organization by the way its members behave?
It does reflect badly on Christianity, but it doesn't invalidate the teachings of Christ or show that Christianity is evil and detrimental to the world or a cause of atrocities.
Is there anything christianity has done for the world that can't be done by any other group? Aside from "saving" your "soul" from "hell". None of which have been proven to exist.
