En anledning till varför kristna framstår som mer fredliga är såklart för att en större del av den kristna världen är sekulariserad. Går man tillbaka till den tiden när kristendomen hade starkare fotfäste blir bilden genast annorlunda. Man kan argumentera för att det finns motsvarigheter i bibeln till de saker som många ibland tar upp ang. islam, vilket många också inser.
