I don’t know about this man in particular but you are mixing a whole religion up with colonialism.
some christians were persecuted and even genocided, see e. g. armenian christians, or balkan christians under the ottoman empire. Other christians in LatAm explicitly resisted imperialism and built peoples organizations and got targetted and killed for it by the CIA, look up liberation theology.
You have a very western view on christianity and your reddit-tier edgy atheism is not looking at the material causes but just blindly blaming religion. Youre putting the carriage before the horse, it wasn’t religion that caused colonialism, but colonialism twisted christianity to fit its needs.

Oh, yes, sorry, I wasn’t taking into account “eastern” Christianity… Those were the good ones. They weren’t reading from the same book.
What about christians like Bonhoeffer and other members of the “confessing church”?
