Between 1865 and 1965, literally thousands of black Americans were lynched; thousands of others were burned out of their homes; millions were deprived of fundamental consitutional rights. What would you say was the 'worldview' of the people who did those things? Given that that 'worldview' resulted in untold human misery, would you say it was an evil 'worldview'?

Not Christianity. It may have been a hybrid, but 1865-1965 was also marked by the rise and thriving of evolutionary theory, so if you want to draw implications. The Bible nowhere says to torture or kill slaves. It treats slaves as equals of non-slaves in humanity and demands that they be treated well. Evil people have seen them as less than human, including some Darwinists who paraded around at least one dark skinned human in a cage as a "missing link" at carnivals.
