Christians have done a lot of terrible things, but the theme that keeps re-emerging is "civilizing" people. They want to conquer your land, teach you about Jesus and how to read and write so you can be awesome like them. That's basically how the Pope justified it for thousands of years.
Now in a modern sense, that's certainly condescending, oppressive, ethnocentric, racist, imperialist, whatever. All true. But the point is Christianity has never really lent itself to wholesale slaughter (very few exceptions) It doesn't make sense in Christianity.
And you just took the counter-crazy position from Burt. That's an absurd view of history.

You can bring up Cromwell and Columbus if you like. I contend they are exceptions.
