No it isn't.

Stop trying to be a fundamentalist, Christianity is one of the least tolerant religions, which certainly isn't good.

No, Christianity is the best; look at the poll.

Christianity is very tolerant of others.

I'm not an actual Christian, but the Christian school I used to go to was actually against speaking ill of other religions.

So, I guess more or less.

It just shows how many people think Christianity is good.

I would've believed that if the Crusades and the Reconquestia didn't happen, forced conversion, etc.

Well, that is not what Christianity calls for. Read a catechism of the Church. It tells you to be kind to others and to respect them and their beliefs.

Those were done in the name of Christianity; Christianity does not call for that. The Roman Catholic Catechism does not tell you to kill people or assault them.

And what "forced conversion?"

The actions of people acting in the name of Christianity. And people act in the name of Christianity a lot. Moreso than other religions. Tell me Christianity is tolerant.
