> far more people have suffered

Compared to what?

Compared to modern sensibilities like equality for women, prohibition of slavery, trial by a jury of peers, medicine based on evidence, etc.

Christians and their faith lead the slavery prohibition movement.

I don't know the history of the other things you mentioned.
