The Inquisition is honestly a nothingburger when it comes to historical atrocities. Random African dictators that nobody's ever heard of kill more people faster then the Inquisition did.

3,000-5,000 deaths from 1478 to 1834.
2,000 of which occurred from 1478-1540.
So during the worst period of the inquisition, it still only killed like 30 people per year.
The only reason why the Inquisition is so famous now is because the people who were living through it at the time were so angry about it that countless documents were written condemning it. That's also why Bloody Mary is so infamous even though she only killed 280 people.
These events do not showcase the brutality of the era. Ironically, they actually show just how peaceful it really was because these events were so shocking to people at the time they felt the need to heavily document it. Everybody's heard of the Inquisition, but how many people have heard of the Srebrenica massacre?

This only happened 30 years ago and I guarantee you virtually nobody you talk to in daily life has heard about it. 8,300 people dead, that's worse then all 400 years of the inquisition and it only took two weeks to happen.
Christian theocracy and Islamic theocracy cannot be lumped into the same category. Do you also believe that a Hindu theocracy would look the same as a Buddhist theocracy? We're talking about very different ideological frameworks and Islam has notoriously had a much more extensive history of violence. But your own statistics show that Saudi Arabia is killing people faster then the Inquisition did too.
I already told you pixel what Christian theocracy accomplished in the 1400s and 1500s...
In the 1400s and 1500s, marriage was universal and a man could provide for a family of 6 on 132 days of work, everything after that was extra disposable income. Most people only worked 200 days out of the year back then. The average hours worked was 1300 a year.
This chart also shows that war deaths were at the lowest level per capita that they've ever been in history during that time period...
Christian theocracy built this...
And this...
And this...
And this...
Almost everything you see in Europe today which is beautiful. Everything that tourists clamor to see, all the architecture we associate with Europe, was built during the Renaissance under Christian theocracy. European civilization reached its peak during the 1400s and 1500s under Christian theocracy. And the proof is in the fact that despite how long ago it was, people still obsess over everything that was created, built, or painted during that era.
