Ancient christianity was also used to condemn crusades, inquisition, slavery, colonialism, etc. And all those things pre-date christianity, so it sort of isn't fair to blame them on it.
Also, slavery would never have been abolished if not for christianity. Most abolitionist were HIGHLY religious people.
