I think you may be mistaking ‘irreligious’ for ‘heretic’. If a Sunni kills a Shi’ite - or vicey-versey - they’re both religious (by definition). The Shi’ite isn’t being killed because he’s not religious, he’s being killed because he’s religious in the wrong way.

Even the Medieval Inquisitions struggled with that distinction.
