Are theists geared toward blasting atheists going to use this violent douche to generalize atheists in a public fashion to further their own "Atheists are the Devil's minions" propaganda? Probably.
Are some atheists going to try and blame the preacher in response or in a preemptive strike towards the the above question? Probably.

The priest asked a question either out of genuine concern or to elicit an emotional response, and the attacker made the wrong decision either way. He'll be judged and punished appropriately for his actions, which is all that really matters in this.
