Unfortunately the Christian religion is into peace and goodwill. Many other religions in contrast have penalties for rule breaking that involve ejecting the individual from the group.
Christianity in particular has severe problems and issues. Jesus Christ may have been merely a Saint. His Virgin Birth raises all manner of issues but is presumed to be the source of his power, which cannot thus be passed on to his disciples due to their regular birth. The role of Joseph becomes questionable - heck husbands are clearly not required? The failure of his God to save him? The message if God is present is what... to aim for abnormal births, to hope for asexual reproduction, that euthanasia is a really great way to die? Where's the recommendation? I think that the message has been lost and it's a borrowed religion a sort of franchise of Judaism? While there were clearly some technologies involved the general view is that the Romans effectively stamped out this religion entirely, before reinventing it for their own gain. Not much of the true ideology has really survived. In contrast other religions have continuity from their original source.
