I think people aren't good or bad and the evidence is that most people will end up committing horrendous atrocities if they end up being part of a group which is committing atrocities. It doesn't really matter if the 'group' is religious or not. What is unhelpful is where one group describes everyone of another group as inherently wrong/bad/evil and this has happened with some religious groups in the past and with some non-religious groups too.
