Actually, human sacrifice has always been against God. The very first murder is condemned by God. Moreso, is Christianity’s effect on liberty throughout the world. Islam continues to support slavery today and Hinduism via the caste system, which, though nominally illegal, continues to function.

Despite Christianity’s stated rejection of the world believers moved it toward liberty. Even in Islam, it is Christianity driving liberty and not Islam itself.

True, but it was at one time practiced by nearly every people group on earth.

True. God’s second covenant was with Noah. That included the injunction. Thou shalt no murder.... Same goes for the third covenant (or fourth depending on whether you count God’s covenants with Abraham) the 10 commandments. the law there was thou shalt not murder...
not .... thou shalt not kill. There was a distinction between lawful killing and unlawful killing. similarly the 10 commandments says thou shalt not commit adultery. it does not say thou shalt not have sex. there is a distinction made between lawful sex and unlawful sex.
