Does anybody find it ironic...?

Not really, since honestly looking at history I don't see that at all.

The only "killing" of christians by polytheists of any scale at all occurred during a few years of the reign of one Roman Emperor, and only resulted in the deaths of a few hundred christians.

What's ironic is that more christians have been killed by other christians, fighting over whose version of christianity is "true," than from any other source -- that number is well into the millions.

It is probable that historical statistics about Religion are riddled with deceit.

Even up until Einsteins death most atheist scientists belonged to a 'Religious" group purely because Educating the masses called for funding and funding then was prescribed through belonging to a certain ideology to advocate their status.

I suppose I could see irony if some one could provide proof of these claims

PS: so we are talking about JUST the roman empire, not all of history? Yeah....I rest my case.....we are cherry picking.....again.
