Let's say the Judeo-Christian-Islamic God.

Great question!
Sorry to disappoint those people who don't read history, nor care to do so, but there is ample proof of just how many people have been killed by abrahamic religions, more specifically Christianity.
Using the "Almanac of Evil" which compiles primary source material across the centuries, the conservative estimate is between 600 million and 1.2 Billion people have been directly and indirectly murdered by the Vatican!
see:http://one-faith-of-god.org/final_testament/end_of_darkness/evil/evil_0200.htm
The top genocides of the Vatican in numbers of death
============================================
540 CE- Ground Zero destruction of all knowledge, civilization, sanitation and doctors/engineers at the orders of the Vatican = 90 to 100 million or 1 in 2 of the world through plague.
1930's-1945 World War II- Catholic facist dictators (none of whom have ever been excommunicated) including Fr Josph Stalin S.J. fully ordained Catholic priest = 50 to 70 million
Really, the vatican is the most awesome killing organization in all of human history and yet still manages to maintain its image as a religious institution...

I'm not even sure a mathematician could take care of that one. You can start anywhere,estimates on various witch trials alone go between 10,000-50,000,add in a couple of wars like the crusades you could be approaching or exceeding a million by now. Add to that the link between Christianity and Nazi thought and the numbers start to skyrocket. Hitler referred to it as positive Christianity,taking a more active role in making a Christian ruled world rather than a passive role, some can go ahead and deny it but whether you want to say it was a perversion of the faith or not it was a variant and Hitler learned his hatred of the Jews and others he attacked from his instruction in Christianity. So if you really get down to it the numbers are virtually incalculable,but the Holocaust alone covers around 12 million between the Jews,Roma Gypsies,mentally handicapped,homosexuals,and physically handicapped.

The number is too high to count. First, you have to count the number of people in the Bible that God ordered to be killed. Then you have to account for the number of people killed during the many Crusades in the Middle Ages and the Holocaust (which the Catholic Church financed) as well as any other wars and religious killings throughout history. Jim Jones and David Koresh were also responsible for deaths in the name of God. It can also be argued that the current war in the Middle East is in the name of God because you have Bush who is extremely adament on shoving his beliefs onto the world who is advocating that the war there not cease.

You can get an accurate count of the murders of the catholics from The Encyclopedia of Witchcraft and Demonology. Somewhere in the millions. As far as the others its not really possible to estimate as their is to much data not recorded.
I would hypothesize in the 10's of millions.

lots of the so-noted as religious wars have been regularly approximately claiming land and matters. faith quite wasn't the reason for the wars... it replaced into greater commonly merely an excuse to dominate somebody. So it rather is impossible to truly recognize. faith would not reason human beings to combat with one yet another; it rather is the evil edge of the character of guy... to opt for to declare human beings and territory "interior the call of..."

Funny, but didn'tJesus suggest just shaking the dust off your shoes and leaving town if no one was interested in hearing about God?
In any case, people would just kill each other in the name of politics if there was no religion....

number of people got killed in world war II is much more than any other war, and its was not fought in the name God but in the name of nations. nationalism is the actual evil of this world not religioin. US attacked Afghanistan and Iraq for the sake nation and US people supported the war for the sake of nation

The question is how many people are dying across the world from things beyond their control whilst we here in developed countries sit and debate God's existence?
