This is certainly true. Because human beings do it all the time, and religious people are a subset of human  beings. 

The "it" in the phrase is referring to a justification for doing harm.
When human beings attempt to justify the harm they do, many use a religious justification. People who aren't religious may do harm out of an emotional response to something that has happened to them.

Larger conflicts like war, are often justified through religious means. Just because religious people are a subset of human beings doesn't mean the justification is the same.

When looking at justification, religious reasons are at the top of the chart. The normal everyday human response of anger will cause some harm, but when you compare that to the religious justification for widespread hatred, civil unrest, regional conflicts, world wars, there is truly no comparison.

The justification used for world wide harm is religious in nature.

Saying that domestic cats are a subset of all felines doesn't make the number of people killed by lions over the centuries any less harmful.
