Such is the nature of theistic faith. Yeah, some people believe in stuff like that.
We're already primed to use those sorts of justifications-by-harm, and there's nothing obviously (logically) wrong with them. An abusive faith will manipulate that for it's own effect. It's interesting, and it adds to the misery of the whole bit. We imagine it takes a cruel zealot, a mustache twirling villain, to skullfuck the neighbors kid - but it doesn't.
The reason was already offered - they're better off dead than in the wrong religion. We don't have to agree with it, and it doesn't have to be true, for it to be compelling to people who do believe in things like that.
