While there was a royal alive there was someone for the counter revolutionaries to rally around.
With the family dead, there were no direct claimants surviving in Russia, to the throne.

If atheists hate the biblical story of God killing off the Egyptian first born then even this should be out of bounds. It can be explained in evolutionary terms, like the examples I gave with male lions and zebras whom also kill the young of the rivals. It certainly explains the psychology, but just like tornados and cancer, it does not make the event desirable.
Even outside the issue of politics and religion, you can go to any super max prison and ask the average prisoner whom is hated the most. Fuck with kids, and even the worst of the worst cannot jump on board.
