  Thirty years war - 3 million to 11 million passed - Protestants and Catholics

  French wars of religion - 2 million to 4 million passed - Protestant and Catholics

  Crusades - 1 million to 3 million passed - Islam and Christian

  Second sudanese civial war - 1 million to 2 million passed - Islam and Christian

  Lebanese civil war - 130,000 to 250,000 passed - Sunni, Shit and Christian

   

  Seems from the above greatest religious wars in history, Christians has been a cause of the demise of millions across the globe.

  We can say that western civilisation is very good at killing.

   

  Of these twelve dead or dying cultures, six have been destroyed by Europeans bearing the culture of Western Civilization.

  When we consider the untold numbers of other societies, simpler than civilizations, which Western Civilization has destroyed or is now destroying, societies such as the Hottentots, the Iroquois, the Tasmanians, the Navahos, the Caribs, and countless others, the full frightening power of Western Civilization becomes obvious...

   

  ...The most important parts of Western technology can be listed under four headings:

   

       1. Ability to kill: development of weapons

       2. Ability to preserve life: development of sanitation and medical services

       3. Ability to produce both food and industrial goods

       4. Improvements in transportation and communications

   

       We have already spoken of the diffusion of Western firearms. The impact which these have had on peripheral areas and other societies, from Cortez's invasion of Mexico, in 1519 to the use of the first atom bomb on Japan in 1945, is obvious.

  Less obvious, but in the long run of much greater significance, is the ability of Western Civilization to conquer disease and to postpone death by sanitation and medical advances...

  I think you have accidentally left out atheism's track record. There have been 28 countries in world history that can be confirmed to have been ruled by regimes with avowed atheists at the helm. These 28 historical regimes have been ruled by 89 atheists, of whom more than half have engaged in democidal acts of the sort committed by Stalin and Mao. The total body count for the 90 years between 1917 and 2007 is approximately 148 million dead at the bloody hands of fifty-two atheists, three times more than all the human beings killed by war, civil war, and individual crime in the entire twentieth century combined. The historical record of collective atheism is thus 182,716 times worse on an annual basis than Christianity’s worst and most infamous misdeed, the Spanish Inquisition. With the above information put on record, I think atheism should take the highest "honour" for being awarded the accolade of causing the greatest demise of millions across the globe.
