Did he not mean to call Christianity a tool of the devil? If so, what was it he was calling a tool of the devil?

Try the misuse of Christianity by the people.

It is evident from what comes before, you know, the context and not ya’ll’s wishes as to what it says

Where did he say that? If you’re going to provide “fuller context” to disprove a misreading, you need to provide enough context to include the part where he better defines what he’s talking about. Just going from what you’ve actually did quote, it seems you’re the one reading into what he said. In what you quote, he didn’t say, “the misuse of Christianity”; he merely said “Christianity.”

If someone says, “Christianity” when he means “Christianity,” any blame for misunderstanding lies fully on the shoulders of the speaker, who is reckless, and those who approve of his speech, which is contemptibly errant. And if an approving editor chooses such words without editing so as to correct the speaker’s grave error, such an editor is wholly incompetent, or has himself a desire to impart an evil meaning.
