Sorry, but I'm going to have to agree with Jester on this one. If any group acts at all, it does so by the action of the individual members since the group is a collective, abstract, entity. Thus, it is trivially true that no group has ever done anything, good or evil. But, ultimately, a group 'does' what its members do. So, to say that something was done by Christians but not by Christianity is both trivially true and totally wrong.
No -- that just doesn't fly.
