I don't get it. Christians haven't killed any Christians. There is the Klu Klux Klan (which I HATE even though I am a Christian.) that is an evil Christian group that muders those who do not believe. I do not think it exists anymore though. There are always evil groups in every religon. Those who force people to believe what they believe. This is wrong.
I hate to disagree, but in the interest of historical accuracy, I must. The truth is that Christians have killed many many of their fellows throughout the ages. This phenomena started on a large scale shortly after Christianity became the state religion of the Roman Empire and various Christian teachings were labelled as heretical. One notable group that was hunted by state sponsored Christianity but still exists today is the Coptic Church which is centered in Egypt. Unfortunately, this basic pattern continued, sometimes over religious disagreements (Protestants vs. Catholics in the reformation), others over purely political reasons (the American Civil War), and so on into the present day (a good recent example off the top of my head is Catholics and Protestants fighting and killing each other in Northern Ireland, although this has thankfully cooled down very recently). Some might argue that all/any of these groups are truly Christian, but short of redefining the term, I think we're stuck with the fact that Christians have killed at least hundreds of thousands of each other through history, which is quite remarkable for a religion that clearly teaches that we, "consider others better than ourselves." (Phil. 2:3) For the record, I am a Christian and quite ashamed of these parts of the churches history.

70 million have been killed since Jesus day, that’s a huge number. Shall we also deny the haulocaust? 6 Million right there. On average 275 Christians die each day somewhere for their faith. 100,000 per year.

∙ 12y agoAs for the real number of martyrs in ancient times, the third-century Church Father, Origen, writing of the total of Christian martyrs up to his own time, in Rome and elsewhere (Contra Celsum, 3.8), states that there were not many - and that it was easy to count them.

∙ 11y agoDavid B. Barrett, Todd M. Johnson, and Peter F. Crossing in their 2009 report in the International Bulletin of Missionary Research (Vol. 33, No. 1: 32) estimate that approximately 176,000 Christians will have been martyred from mid-2008 to mid-2009. This, according to the authors, compares to 160,000 martyrs in mid-2000 and 34,400 at the beginning of the 20th century. If current trends continue, Barrett, Johnson and Crossing estimate that by 2025, an average of 210,000 Christians will be martyred annually.
These results are not based on hard fact, but instead are estimates.

Why do people always think that Christians are so perfect?
Many Christians actually acknowledge themselves as sinners, in no way perfect. Recent revelations about sexual promiscuity and even criminal acts by members of clergy in various Church denominations demonstrate clearly that Christians can no longer be regarded as inherently perfect, even if they were once regarded as such. It is also reported that Christians are over-represented in our prison systems, compared to persons of no faith. There are many good Christians in this world, just as there are many good people of other faiths and no faith, but if people think of Christians as perfect it is simply a misunderstanding of the facts.
