Just remember that religion (of any kind) has caused more deaths in the history of the world than anything else.
Prove it.
I bet that you will find that more people have died from smallpox, influenza, the plague, and AIDS than wars and religion combined. Consider the last 100 years. Approximately 100 million from the Spanish Flu and almost 100 million in Africa from AIDS.

Times have changed. I don't think it been a positive impact.

That is a very convenient point of view for the conquerors to push. In truth, after the initial military conquest, the churches moved in to finish the job. Perfectly good belief systems, languages, and community groups were steamrolled by the churches in the colonial era.
I think your prejudices do not allow to see that there are a lot of positive things that did happen. I'm sure tribal wars and enslavement of the various people occurred and whereas devastating.
