If you could eliminate one person from history...who would it be?

299. Yes, but one could argue (convincingly)

that most religions have an element of violence in them when you really get to the heart of them (and completely looking at them from a 21st century, American perspective). I'll give examples I know best, outside the Judeo-Christian purview: religion in the Americas.
Mesoamerican religions included an element of violence that had nothing to do with Judeo-Christian beliefs.
Same with beliefs in the Andes that predate the Incas.
Same with beliefs in the Amazon.
Was there a convert or die mentality present in the Americas? Not really, as far as we can tell (the Aztecs demanded that conquered peoples simply add Aztec principle gods to the conquered folks' pantheon, but that's about it). I'm less familiar with North America, but I've never heard such a thing.

Nonetheless, there was violence attributed to religion.
I get what you're suggesting, though. However, Jesus didn't ever say "Kill you neighbors if they disagree with you about my teachings." His followers in the later centuries, however, seem to have forgotten his main tenets.
