I'm going to disagree with this considering the vast majority of horrible events in the middle ages (the crusades, the inquisition, the wars and massacres created by the reformation, and the systematic obliteration of Jews in western europe) were entirely caused by religion.

a TRUE follower of Christ(you know, the peaceful guy who went around healing people and teaching people ways to be better to your neighbor and family etc etc) are generally non violent and peaceful. A TRUE Christian is supposed to follow meekly in Christ's footsteps by example, not brutally force others to walk the same road.
You're going to get some sort of serious injury bending over backwards and stretching as hard as you can to make apologies for groups you agree with.
