Yes, I don’t blame Christianity for that either. I’ve actually noticed no moral variation between people based on what religion they’re brought up in.
I’ve only read fragments of the Quran, but I’d be surprised if there was more brutality than in the torah/old testament.
It also teaches salvation isn’t by works.
A billion catholics would disagree. Even Arminians and Calvinists (the two main protestant schools on this, for anyone unfamiliar) can require more than just passive acceptance of doctrine for it to count, each in their own ways. If you’re being hyper-literal here, both works and faith figure in to salvation by grace, which is the main alternative.
The passages used to justify the role of faith are the ones like John 14:6. It definitely implies Jesus has to be involved in salvation, but anything beyond that is a matter of interpretation, and massively contentious to the point wars have been fought.
