Of all twenty, only three have taken place in nations where Christianity has had a profound influence. Two were volcanic eruptions in Sicily and Italy that killed tens of thousands of people; the other was the flooding of part of Holland during a violent North Sea storm in 1953 drowning about two thousand people.

This guy's research sucks. How about Hurricane Mitch killing 18,000 people in Central America (a heavily Catholic region) in 1998? Heck, the 1906 San Francisco quake killed more people than the flooding of the Netherlands - why doesn't it rank?

Poor research by the author. How about Galveston, 9000 killed there.
