"Most of the adherents of the religions you're bashing are generally ignorant of your views on their religion, or they simply do not care.""
Two points here, km.
One, that ignorance is not harmless. It is easy to push a button to send a nuclear device across an ocean to destroy many things of which you will necessarily remain ignorant thereafter.
Two, the argument for bashing does devolve upon a majority being necessary for castigation to be meet and fit. It is usually a small number of religious zealots who cause the rest of the "ignorant" herd to do things, or who do the most heinous things to stand out from said herd for their god.
