Answer 4

Quite possibly the Christian church, including all the crusades, witch trials, modern killing for religious reasons, and don't forget WWII, with Adolph, a Catholic. Yeah, if you're looking for a group answer, that would probably be it. From an individual standpoint, that's a much tougher one.

But could Mao be said to have committed the murders, as the questioner asks?
