Sadly, self-confessed New Atheists equate Christianity with Roman Catholicism. Imagining that everyone who calls himself a Christian gives blind obedience to the pope and the Roman Catholic Church, they equate Christian fundamentalism with the Crusades and Inquisitions and thus with fanaticism and violence. The truth is that the Crusaders who waved the Cross and conquered in the name of Christ could hardly have been biblical Christians because they violated everything Christ taught, slaughtering His brethren, the Jews, everywhere they went and especially in Jerusalem. The Inquisitors were equally in disobedience of Christ.
