I really do agree with you but I keep hearing how Christians are no better than Muslims. Maybe at one time, over 200 years ago, we had the Inquisition and witch burning, but we're over it.

Not by stoning but I've read quite a few reports about those Christian-sect families that consider every ailment an act of god and do not take their kids to see the doctor, effectively causing the death of the said child of an illness that could be treated. Also, there has been quite a bit of pedophilia in one of the sects common in Finland. And while extramarital sex has not caused any stoning to death, I know quite a number of cases where a slight infringement of the sect rules has led to banishment from the said sect in a degree where the parents of the said offender have disowned their child.
It's funny, how Christians consider their own religion as morally superior and a religion of peace, love and forgiveness, while there are so many immoral (and illegal) deeds committed by officials of the religion. The majority of all wars on the planet have been fought by Christians. The denial of same-sex marriages (because marriage is said to be sacred) and the bullshit revolving around that theme - which actually, being discussed in the Finnish TV in a panel caused a huge wave of resignations from the church. Also, when looking at the peace, love and forgiveness of the Americans (really, I don't have anything agaist you guys in general) - the way some Christians over there talk about us atheists, saying we should all be killed or at least driven out pf the U.S. - I think I can pretty much rest my case...
