Let's have a look at some of the christian areas in the world and see why they are christian.
Europe
Christianity becomes entrenched as part of European culture as a result of Constantine's wishes.
Africa
European christians invade Africa, kill hundreds of thousands, enslave others, steal land, destroy local traditions and beliefs and replace them with christianity.
North America / Australia
European christians invade, steal land from the native population, nearly wipe out the native population and then come in such droves as to come to completely dominate the area after several generation.
Central America / South America / Phillipines
European christians invade, kill hundreds of thousands, enslave others, steal land, destroy local traditions and beliefs and replace them with christianity.
The spread of christianity worldwide doesn't quite seem as glorious now does it ?
Islam doesn't fare much better.

Would these regions really be christian today if we hadn't invaded them and destroyed their native culture ?

I don't think we would have as much Christianity. It has been used to rule over people with scare tactics and death and treats of going to hell. I agree with you.

Couldn't agree more - Christianity would have not been heard of if not forced unto people. World would have been a much more peaceful and developed place, people more educated - it stopped worlds development by almost 1500 years - with this development, there would be no Islam - because by the time Islam came, people would have been more educated.
But it's not too late to come to reality - that's for those who believe in fairy tales.

It's the same of all religions originating in the mid-east based on the god of the OT. They were spread by violence, not because they accurately protrayed the blueprint of humanity and the universe. Believe or die has been their theme of all three for centuries.

Religions are invented by men who want to play Gods.
Christianity was spread by those who were playing God so they could justify slaughtering people and stealing their resources.

All religion is a mental illness spread by the weak minded and gullible who have already been infected.

You have to crack hundreds-of-thousands of eggs to make a few shitty omelets.
