It just really took off with the Reformation thanks to Luther. The RCC had a long history of persecuting all other religions anyway.

Nazi Germany most certainly propagated Luther’s anti-Semitism. It’s just interesting to consider what would have happened to that sort of hate had not so many Christians promoted it for so long.
