And historian scholars attribute that "divinely-mandated genocide of ancient Canaan" due to their hideous practice of child sacrifice.
When the Spaniard Cortez found the same religious practices in the New World, he wiped out the Aztec armies. The Mayan and Incan civilizations had the same evil customs.
Judeo-Christianity, in contrast to all pagan religions, has done more to eliminate genocide that anything else. And I include the RCC of the dark ages to be a pagan religion, worshiping Mary and the idols.
