In both cases it is the content of their religious or secular identity, not that they were religious or secular, respectively. This should be plainly obvious, and not require mention. It shouldn't surprise anyone when any particular society completely loses their shit- it's entirely comprised of human beings. Whether the man swinging the axe claims to speak for the state or for a god - it is still just human beings doing human things. Amusingly, even the shenanigans pulled ostensibly at the behest of religious values aren't special or impressive, no more so than the religion itself.
