The person is acting on his own accord, not according to the teachings of Christ.
True Christianity, as you describe it, is morally bankrupt. In addition, if it isn't a sufficient deterrent for bad behavior then it serves no practical purpose for believers, let alone those of us that can't accept its doctrine.
What's left is a tool for a few to control the gullible masses that are afraid to confront the nothingness that is our destiny.
