Surely you recall the Nicene creed and all the heretics and Jews killed that didn't believe that Jesus was God. Surely you recall the Crusades when Christians practiced killing Jews on their way to exterminating those evil Muslims. Surely you recall the pogroms in Russia where 7 million of the world's 11 million Jews lived until the slaughter began. Of course those weren't "real" Christians -- they were those evil Eastern Orthodox Christians. Is the U.S. a Christian nation? If so, then what are they doing to Muslims in Iraq? Christians are VERY slow learners!

This was not counted properly during all these 2000 years but they were many. You should not call the mass murder of innocent people "famous wars". And the reasons? Christians couldn't bear it that there were people living among them who refused to believe in Christianity. They also blamed Jews for the crucifixion of Jesus.
Later the religious aspect became less important, but I think it is the root for all the hatred. Nazis later made up a racist ideology saying that Jews were subhuman and killed 6 million Jews in the Holocaust in the name of this ideology.

When you look at religious history, it is pure insanity. The Inquisition. The Crusades. And on and on and on...
The Inquisition specifically targeted Pagans yet managed to include a vast, uncountable number of Jews. Same thing for the Crusades. It was an ongoing fight for control of Jerusalam, yet few managed to make it all the way to the holy city. So, all fired up to kill Muslims, yet not getting anywhere near some so-called Muslim heritics, Jews were a good second choice!

Here's a better question: How many true christians were killed by not only Jews, but athiests, communists, and even other christians in the last 2000 years? Or...How many Jews were killed by Hitler or Stalin and those governments just in this last 100 years?

A lot, but not just Jews. Christians aren't very prejudice about who they kill.

Difficult question there was no calculators, computers and adding machines at that time. It will be hard to count, tell and write it in history for over 2000 years. :(

If you mean Christian as the true followers of Jesus Christ. And you mean killing to mean murder, then the answer is none. If you mean those who said that they are Christian but brought forth works of hate not love then the number is staggering... Jim

Far, far too many.
The number is not so relavent. What is relavent is that, by and large, Christianity seems to have outgrown this dark aspect of their faith.
