If you say a group of individuals was guilty of something a few centuries back, it speaks volumes about how it has been overall in recent years.

True. Also consider the kind of response lefties give when you point out the atrocities of Communism. Without fail, they will say:
“Well those can’t be attributed to Communism, because Communism has never been truly implemented”
So, we could just say “Well, those acts can’t be attributed to Christianity, because anyone doing such things isn’t following true Christianity.”
Yeah, it’s the “no true Scotsman” fallacy, but since they rely on it so much, they can’t afford to point that out :)
