How does Christianity stack up against that criteria?

Quite well, if you'll get your head out of your hidden place and look around.

There are no countries in the world ruled by Christian law over civil law, sanctioning murder and mayhem.

True...now. How about throughout history? Between conversions and warfare, more people have died in the name of God than through any other reason. By far. In present day, it may just be that Islamic extremists are the ones killing in Allah's name. Too bad for them they aren't the ones with the F-18's and the B-2's, huh?
