The harm religion causes is a problem in the world, sure. It's one problem among many.
I wouldn't expect every person to be actively involved in addressing every single problem. That's unrealistic. So I won't think badly of people who just want nothing to do with it at all.
I would hope that, if asked, most atheists (and even the more reasonable theists) would agree that the very real harm done in the name of religion is bad. But whether they choose to publically voice that opinion, or take even further action, is up to them.
