Umm you got that wrong, It was the Jewish leaders, Jewish elitist that hated the Christians. And to think it was a Jewish born apostle that traded 30 pieces of silver. But that's a nice lil twister you used in your post though. Exclude and Except or reverse those two get the same results.
Edit:
Now after the fall of the Roman empire, with all of their gods, and the religion set started to rule AKA Pope, yeah they hunted down any and all other religious beliefs be a Jewish beliefs though Jewish is not a religion just so you know. Any other's who believed in any other God, or God's or witchcraft witchery warlocks and so on was considered heresy. And punishable by death, tortured you first, than death by fire mostly or they chop your head off or locked you in a dungeon till you died and slowly. Again don't forget about them pesky Vikings they had all kinds of gods. More war's have been start because of religion select than any other wars combined. Persia which is Iran now with their beliefs started so many wars. Muslims, Islamic rule, jihadas, yeah them dudes loved/love blood baths also
