I think the point of Tim Sevener's examples is not that Christianity has
some priveleged place in the pantheon of "badness", but that the average
moral level of any population is generally pretty low.  If the USA were
an "Atheist" or "Agnostic" country (and it is, Jerry Falwell to the
contrary), the situation would be as bad.  The form intolerance took
would be different; that's all.

And by the way, history seems to show that the worst thing about Communism
is the way they seem to feel a need to kill some large portion of the people
wherever they take control.  Adolf Hitler was a rank amateur compared to
Pol Pot.
