Hey, I'm a Jew and an atheist. I pray to a God I don't believe exists. My wife was raised as a Christian and she hates organized religion but still has me put an evergreen up in our house every December. The Nazis and Soviets were atheists. Which is all to say, people are complicated and if they want to find a way to demonize each other, they'll find one, religion or not, God or not. I'm ambivalent whether religion has done humanity more harm than good, but I think that it probably on balance is too humanity's benefit. In any case, what we have here is a case of extremism. Let's call that out instead of using it as an example to bash all religion.
