Is it, though? Look at your own sentence construction - one is criticising a set of beliefs; the other is criticising individuals and groups.

If you don't like your beliefs being criticised, either keep them to yourself wrapped up in cotton wool, or get better - ie non-ridiculous - beliefs.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
