Hinduism is the oldest organized religion and a religion which was modeled is Buddhism, Buddha was Hindu. In the History there were more Hindus and Buddhists dying because of them. There were more wars riots initiated by them. I agree there were violence by Hindus and Buddhists but negligible when compared with them. Spiritualism, Dharma, Meditation, Yoga was spread by Hindus. Hinduism and Buddhism are more secular than them

Christianity -has- caused more violence. The Holy Crusades, which combined went on for about 200 years, are a big example of this. Most religions don't support violence, there are just the radical people within in each religion, which is sad. People don't notice others being violent in their own religion, but the moment someone in another religion does something horrible, they condemn everyone who pratices that religion.
Sorry, can't really say anything about the other ones, I just know that the Holy Crusades are the big overlooked Christianity thing. This was hundreds of years ago and I'm not saying that all Christians then or now are bad or good.

Actually, Buddhism is probably the ONLY religion without a history of bloodshed and violence. Even, Hinduism had bloody wars, as evident during Rajendra's reign hundreds of years ago and the ongoing animosity between Hindus and Muslims in India today. Even the Mahabharata speaks of great wars with even the Gods getting involved! Lol...
