When do you think the pederasty happened? Or when the Taliban and other Islamists started doing their thing?

And that's when Christians have been thrown out of power. Back when they could influence politics, it wasn't uncommon for Kings to commit wholesale genocides to enforce Christian dogma, as the Cathars and the millions killed in the Reformation would confirm.

Sadly for you,Inquisition papers survived.Both papal and Spain Inquisition killed maybe 10.000 persons during 600 years.
Sralin killed averagely more in week of his rule.

Cathars were death cult - and even they were not genocided,all get chance to survive if they agree to be normal.
Protestant wars - yes,they genocide from time to time,but usually they gave catholics chance to become protestants or run to other countries.

Only case when it not happened was 1525 peasant rebellion,when both protestants and catholics united to slaughter rebelling peasants - but it was not religion,only noble acts of german chilvary to show farmers their place !

A crusade can be best understood as an extended, multinational military campaign by adherents of a specific belief system to forcibly impose that belief system on non-believers.

By that definition many of the actual Crusades themselves were not, in fact, Crusades, as they were wars seeking to liberate regions conquered BY wars that fit into your definition of crusades...

I would view both the Islamic Jihads of the 8th - 13th centuries and the trope-naming Crusades as meeting the definition. After all, while the Crusaders may (correctly, afaik) have viewed it as liberating conquered regions, by the time they actually reached the Holy Land (even for the first crusade) at least some portion of the people they were conquering had converted (by the sword or otherwise) to Islam.
 
And even if they hadn't, it was still ultimately about advancing their own religion by slaughtering innocent civilians. That some islamic soldiers happened to stand in the way was just an unhappy accident.

No.

You came in and threw down something you clearly expected to be treated as an exceptional and egregious moral failing, for the purpose of tarring Christianity with it.

Christians have nothing on the shit atheists have not only done, but claimed is moral and virtuous for them to be doing. If you want to play the 'who has done more evil things?' game, atheism will lose every single time, unless you deny that evil even exists as a concept, which is of course the main motivator behind a large number of atheists embracing atheism in the first place.

Christian ideology at its core faces up to the fact that we are all sinners, that we all need to repent, that we all need to ask forgiveness, and be humble.

Every atheistic cultural and political movement that has gained power has brought immense suffering to mankind as it tries to redefine morality, usually creating hell on earth as it tries to chase after heaven on earth (utopia).

Your determined and willful ignorance is a wonderful exemplar of why this happens again and again.
