I am so sick of posts like this. Not holding the position that a God/s/god/s super natural exist does not mean we will eat your babies. It merely means we are not buying the logic or reasoning or alleged "evidence".
I most certainly value human rights. Now. just like everything, I do think there can be limits to putting up with something. I don't think it is right for parents to deny medical aid to a child that is critical in keeping them alive, based on religion. I also certainly wood be very concerned if ANY religion started infecting politics to the point we looked like a theocracy. Religion belongs in the private sector and that does not mean out of sight. It just means government is not the place to preach.
But no, even if a large segment of society were doing those horrible things, if I was part of the opposition and defeated them, I would simply detain them and or offer them an alternative to what they were doing.
Even the prisoners of GITMO got three meals a day and were able to pray and read their Koran.
FYI just so you know Putin invokes God all the time, and his good Christian soldiers are committing war crimes in Ukraine.
