No. Sin is sin. A small sin is just as condeming as a big sin.
The Bible states that all have "sinned" therefore it doesn't matter what the sin is, big or small, it still needs to be confessed, forgiven and repented of.

History
The concept of possession by evil spirits and the practice of exorcism are very ancient and widespread, and may originate in prehistoric Shamanistic beliefs.
The Christian New Testament includes exorcism among the miracles performed by Jesus. Because of this precedent, demonic possession was part of the belief system of Christianity since its beginning, and exorcism is still a recognized practice of Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox and some Protestant sects.
In recent times, the practice of exorcism has diminished in its importance to most religious groups and its use has decreased. Generally, it is currently found mainly in Eastern Europe and Africa, with some cases gaining media coverage; Anneliese Michel is perhaps the most recent of these. This is due mainly to a greater understanding of psychology and the functioning and structure of the human mind. Many of the cases that in the past which were candidates for exorcism have been found to be the products of mental illness, and are handled as such. More generally, the change in worldview since the Age of Enlightenment, which put increased value on rationalism, materialism, and naturalism, has led to a decrease in the belief of the supernatural.

First of all, the Americans didn't get involved until 1917.
Second, nuclear holocaust qualifies as worse than WWI. The answer to your question is yes.

The worst possible sin is that of pride. Thinking one sin is greater than another. Sin Is Sin.

I thought you were refering to the Jewish left's draining of Germany and the subsequent chaos they caused.
