a wanton killer as you suggest, the world would have long ago ceased to
be inhabited by humans. Since the majority of the population claim some
religious belief, if each person killed even one other person, there'd
be nobody left in less than a year.

Hitler was only one person. He was responsible for the death of 6
million Jews.

It's not the number of people who commit the atrocities that's
significant, it's the number who die.

Millions upon millions have died thanks to religious beliefs, in
barbaric fashion for the most part.

And it's happening today.

But hose with their heads buried in the religious sands (or in
anatomical locations where the sun don't shine) just never see it.
