I believe he was referring to the colonization of nations in which they forced the inhabitants to "accept jesus christ as their lord and savior" or die a horrible death at their hands. The spanish inquisition comes to mind. Or in North America when natives were forced to convert to christianity when the children were taken from their homes, forced to speak english, convert to christianity, and often raped and abused in the process. Or perhaps the "well meaning" missionaries who go to a third world country, and require everyone to convert to christianity before giving them any type of aid. It's basically dangling food in front of a starving man and saying you wont give it to him until he submits to being "saved." The very thought of missionary work disgusts me.
