I have read statements from Christians who have said they would "sacrifice" (murder) their kids if they believe god told them to.

Right. It's a book written by people, used by people, to justify violence by people.
The trouble is people.
Are you saying that people would be better off without the bible god fantasy. That if people were honest they should reject god(s)?
Or is this just a cherry pick statement, reject the bad, believe the good.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
