God is just the scapegoat some use to justify their means.
The only killing animal is the human without morals.
Humans with morals also kill. There are very, very few human beings that cannot express their moral agency.
You got the other part dead on. Gods are and always have been scapegoats for this or that human impulse, this or that tragedy. That..in fact, is all that they are or ever have been. The poor mans god is crucified, and the warlords god burns the heathen. Personally, I trust the moral agency of a killer more than that of a true believer. Aping some other asshole's dusty justification for warcrimes as a matter of faith. It's simply not possible to believe in the gods of our magic books without compromising our moral agency.

Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
