...they almost exclusively use Christianity as a sword against others whereas real Christianity uses it against themselves primarily.
A lot of Christians would benefit greatly from reading Tolstoy's The Kingdom of God is Within You. He spends a significant portion of the book talking about Christian non-violence and important Christians who embraced Christian non-violence. From Tolstoy's book:
"Christ's teaching, which came to be known to men, not by means of violence and the sword,... but by means of nonresistance to evil, gentleness, meekness, and peaceableness, can only be diffused through the world by the example of peace, harmony, and love among its followers."
