Yes there may be a few retards that commit mass-murders in the name of Christianity but that doesn’t changes the fact that Christianity has reformed and it doesn’t promote killing.

By Christianity I assume you mean the teaching of it, since the Bible has parts that promote killing, such as when Jesus said to kill those who would not follow him.
Luke 19:27:
"But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them--bring them here and kill them in front of me."
When talking about Christianity and Islam, there are those who chose to promote this violence, and those who do not.
I'd like to think that those who don't are the modern versions of those religions.
But as for extremists with an agenda, using religion is a powerful tool. I wish we lived in a world where no one believed in religion. Even though we'd still have extremist violence, I think it would be significantly harder to recruit and motivate people without religion.

I'm not exactly the religous type but that's pure fallacy, only their motivation would just change. Instead radical extreme people would be commiting horrible attrocities with the unfortunately sounder excuse that only the strongest and fittest should be allowed to live in society. You wouldn't be able to point your finger and blame religous passages in books now would you? Would you then point the blame partly on Darwin's Theory?
