I don't think you understand what you are saying. That's like saying all whites are slavemasters bc Jefferson was. It's idiotic. People are individuals.
Whites “are” whites but Nazis “made” a choice and became Nazis and thus they assume responsibility for the crimes of the Nazis.
As to theists’ criminal actions, how much do you know of the history of theism?
Or even better: how much of what is written in the OT you believe?
Have you read the last post in the thread about the passage in Mark 15:34?
Here is the passage from Ezekiel:
And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side;
And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity. (Ez. 9:3)
What do you think of all your God’s killings? It is all allegorical nonsense or what?
Did you ever wonder why all peoples on earth describe the gods as monstrous subhuman murderers?
For the expressions “slave of god,” “Shepherd,” “flock,” which are known from the oldest scriptures on earth, what explanation do you have?
Your god is your Shepherd and you, his slave, belong to his flock. How do you feel about that? Are you happy to be the slave of a wicked God?
