Wow, out of the millions of factors, you choose one and then add some kind of correlation to make your point..

Uh, religion is just a whole other set of justificatons. Justify killing in the name of god, perscuting others in the name of god. basically religion is the ultimate justification because you can say you need to do x or y in the name of god and god can never respond.
Except there's no justifying killing in the name of God. People who take their respective bibles literally are no better than people who dislike religion. I would rather follow Torah commandments than make up my own rules, knowing the stupidity of people.

Oh, and Hilter was a christian. Just look up some quotes from him. Like this one..My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter."
Wrong, hitler was a Christian when he needed to get elected Chancellor. Hitler killed Jews, Christians, Gypsies and created his own "religion". That's what inevitably happens when someone doesn't want to follow whatever religion already exists.. They claim they hate religion, then start believing in whatever makes them sleep better at night, and finally create a cult. Good thing you didn't mention Stalin
