No argument here, but there's certainly a difference between being born into a particular nation, coming to disbelief on your own, and choosing to march under a swastika flag. They are all groupings. Some are imposed from without; others are positive choices one makes.
I had no choice being born Texan or American, and I reject the broad-brushes applied to those groups. I had no choice in losing my faith, either. But if I choose to march under any flag, that's my own decision, and I bear the responsibility for that choice.
