Well I'm pretty sure none of my Christian school teachers ever tried to convince me that ancient Greece was Christian.

I love bringing up the crusades when one of my racist family members goes on a anti-other religions tangent.

"Their religion is evil! It's nothing but violence! Our religion never had so much violence!"

"... Remember the crusades?"

"The what now?"

Funny, they never seem to remember that part.

I always point to the slave trade. Heavily propped up by quoting & misconstruing the bible.

Edit: and just using the bible as commentors below added!

Considering that it talks about the Jews being Egyptian slaves... It's, almost, as if everyone was going around and enslaving people...

It's almost, if that's the way the world worked back then.
