Look up the Salem Witch hunts. The Puritans were the ones who started all the Salem witch hunt stuff. Some young girls started the whole thing. They were Christians, very strict. Good luck, also, watch the Biography channel, History's Mysteries, The Travel Channel, lots of programs have been on this week because of Halloween. You should be able to catch some still this week. Have fun, it's interesting!!

Christianity was involved. They were doing the hunting. All other belief systems were the ones that were being hunted.

Yup, gotta watch them Catholics, they control the earthquakes and the hurricanes too.
Reformist fanatics, mostly of Calvinist origins, burned about 150,000 "witches" in the middle ages.

Don't quote me on this, but I believe the Roman Catholics. Either that or Christianity.
