Anyone who makes this bogus claim hasn't studied their history. Religious intolerance has existed since Cain and Abel. One has only to look at the religious madness on the earth today.
Unfortunately, the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, and other movements painted Christianity as savage and evil. Queen Mary and certain Popes gave orders to slaughter entire nations who did not convert to Catholicism.
Mohammed made converts by the edge of the sword when few showed interest in his new religion. None of the Oriental religions tolerate one another. Belief in Christ in some places in the world will buy you the death penalty.
True Christianity is the only faith to offer salvation to all men and women, free and without having to work for it. It has been the only faith to dissolve lines between races, gender, and social castes.
The problem is, most people despise Christianity because it demands acknowledgement that they are a sinner and need to repent. They call this "judgmental." Because the bible condemns certain lifestyles, they call it a hate book against society.
