In Geneva, church discipline was expressed, at the instigation of Calvin, in the establishment of special overseers, who, in the individual districts assigned to them, had to watch over the moral behaviour of church members. There likewise came about the creation of such social arrangements as ecclesiastically controlled inns and taverns, in which not only the consumption of food and drink but even the topics of conversation were subject to stern regulation.
The Church herself isn't guilt-free in attempting to maintain faith by force. The various Protestant fiefdoms were religious dictatorships. This sort of thing is nothing new.
Societies evolve. Christians today are not "guilty" for what those who came before them did centuries ago.
How many majority-Christian countries *today* are "religious dictatorships?" How many still allow the burning of heretics at the stake? How many *today* execute people for blasphemy?
The point is, *none.* Christianity has *changed.* In some ways for the worse, perhaps, but Christians no longer call for the murder of those who leave or who disagree.
To us, that is a quaint backdrop to a history that also included the flowering of science.
To a Moslem woman in a burqua, that would be liberation, by comparison.
