Log this as one of the few times I may agree with you, however limited.
Belief and the entirety of religion is not at fault in the same magnitude as the actors (the people in this case). Those who enable that belief are to be blamed, as they have the capacity to understand the effects of it on others. The idea itself is divorced from reality and while used in this context to murder and deprive, is an unthinking object that no more may be blamed than a hammer used to commit battery.
