Not exactly "routinely". Some religious extremists, sure, but not all of the religious types.. Many religious types have been so peaceful, actually establishing a system of peace in many towns and communities that would've never existed were it not for such reverence of all human lives (otherwise, civilization would have hardly moved past the survival-of-the-fittest models of the primitive cannibalistic jungle tribes and nomadic tribes that slash other tribes' throats at nights).
Now, atheists are hard at work using the acts of a few extremists (and the Old Testament) to undermine ALL of traditional religion. However, the problem for example is that first, abortions are ok by the dogmatic atheists, then it will be ok to kill everybody with an IQ less than 100 when the world becomes overpopulated...
Atheist: "Why didn't we just kill all African-Americans after they were no longer slaves, when they were useless uneducated pests of the society, so that the society could move on with just us intelligent citizens furthering scientific process of the human race?" Moral believer: "No, give all of those African-American equal rights and treatment no matter how poor or uneducated they are!"
Ok with science that the big bang theory requires that fundamental scientific laws do not exist for the first few minutes, but not ok for the creator to defy these laws...
