Most shocking book? Probably The Bible. It’s probably also the book responsible for the most deaths worldwide throughout history.
Mostly because people seem not to have read it, but claim they have, or take parts of it out of context if it suits them, while ignoring the more important sections.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Mind you, always debatable in religious wars that the motive is anything less than a simple asset and wealth grab with godless intent.Comment

Look at the number of deaths in the Bible.
Look at the religious/ethnic groups that hold on to it (whether they just hold on to the Torah, the Old Testament, the New Testament or some specific part). How many of those people have died or have killed others as a result of believing what they have read in it?
And it’s as a result of a story in the Bible that hatred between the descendants of Abraham occurred and continues to this day.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

The numbers described in the OT are tiny, even by ancient standards. You need to learn some Persian history.
Nobody can be certain but estimates for Islam stand at around 270 million to date.
Current death rate is 84,000 per year.
Islamist extremism caused 84,000 deaths worldwide in 2017, new report says - CBS News
I do however still maintain that it is fatuous to blame religion as motives are often speculative.Comment
