What is the religion of the sword?

Question

Islam is claimed to be the religion of the sword but throughout my studies, I've come to the conclusion that the true religion of the sword was, and still is, the Roman Catholic Church and Christianity.

Throughout history the Roman Catholic Church has millions upon millions of people's blood on their hands. Their conquest of Central and South America, led to the slaughter of Aztecs, Mayans, Incas and many other smaller civilizations. They ruthlessly killed men, women and children unless they converted to Catholicism and changed their way of life.

In Spain, after 700 years of relative peace with Muslim leadership under the Moors, the Catholics were able to overtake the crown and immediately began the massacre of Muslims and Jews, unless they converted to Catholicism. This despite the Moors allowing all Spaniards to follow any religion, as long as they pledge allegiance to the leaders.

These 2 examples show that Roman Catholic Church is the religion of the sword.
