The ban could be considered reasonable, if equally applied to all political and religious/irreligious groups.
Talking about an "group" committing violence could incite hatred against that group. That is the thinking, anyway. Your group probably contains Christians that are there to flag everything you post, in order to shut you down. You gave them some ammunition. They probably think Jesus will reward them.
Facebook is clearly not a free speech forum, but I'm not aware that either the left or right wants free speech online. Both think they can police it to reinforce their own narrative.
P.S. The moderators who banned you might not have been religious, or even right-wing. They may have been left-wing do-gooders who believe that any criticism of a group is hate speech.
