"They weren't burning churches down to denounce the faith, it was just a lack of understanding for what it was..."
If you are going to give a history lesson, at least have a clue what you are talking about. Vikings burned down churches and killed Christians directly to denounce their faith. Why? Because they had their own way of living for over 900 years before Christianity even existed and then when this new religion came along, all of a sudden, you had to believe what the Christians believed or face the consequences (Crusades, Spanish Inquisition, etc..). They were only doing so in a way of taking back what was originally theirs and fighting back against the Christians.
