You've ignored my point that Jesus preached about Hell and the faith-based scheme of salvation central to Christian theology.
Next to the urgency of saving souls from Hell, Jesus' pithy sayings about peace and love are afterthoughts. Hell and salvation are central to the message of Jesus. Hell and salvation inspired the abuses of Christianity. Ergo, yes, Christianity inspired the atrocities.
