Let's say that he did his terrible deeds because of hatred of religion and religious people. Does the attested fact that every atheist on this forum, and likely almost every atheist you might ask irl, condemn his actions not tell you anything?
Absolutely. And the same is true for many other groups as well.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
