And if the majority of the world thought this, I would actually side with the minority who thinks this is wrong and then go to war myself.
Yes, to you and me that statement is wrong.
When people act on that statement, we can act against them.
If people vocalize that statement, they can be detained and questioned and present probable cause to be investigated, as genocide is against the law, and so is inciting mass violence.
That is a very different story than banning "homosexuality is a sin" or "abortionists are going to burn in hell."
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
