- The European colonization of the Americas: 34 million killed. All of the countries that colonized America were strongly Christian.

- The Hundred Years' War: 2.8 million killed. Both England and France were strongly Christian.

- The Crusades: 1.7 million killed. Happened because of Christianity.

And those are just the most famous examples.

To be fair, the vast majority of the native Americans were accidently killed due to diseases, so it wasn't as much of a genocide as it may seem like.

I cited the colonization of America because it's a very shocking event, not just because of the numbers. The "morally superior" Christians dominated and killed a lot of native Americans (yes, a lot of them were killed due to diseases, but not all of them. Especially the Spanish battled a lot against the Aztecs and Incas.)

The Hundred Years' War wasn't really directly related to religion either.

My point is that manslaughter happens independently of religious beliefs. The Hundred Years' War wasn't directly related to religion, but both peoples were strongly religious.
