I mean that in the sense that such considerations rarely factor in for the worst of the worse. What they do then doesn't follow from their failed philosophical views but from their particular psychological twistedness and character failings. You can say, "well if they'd just embrace xtianity this would never happen" but you know, it wouldn't happen either if I was simply appointed absolute ruler of the earth.
It doesn't seem to have anything to do with a god anyway, and obviously many people who "accept christianity" still blissfully murder others. A disproportionately large number of murderers just so happen to be christians, lol.
I suspect the number of convicted murderers who are xtian probably approaches 100% if/when they come up for parole.
