These monsters have done so many mental acrobatics to get themselves to this point, and it couldn't be further from the teachings of any religion.
This is society devolved to it's most barbaric.

I wholeheartedly agree, with one key differentiation. It's not the specific religion (though it's rife with violent themes), rather the central tenet to every religion: suspend reason and put a higher power above all else. It's that worldview that allows these people to gladly swallow down any any shred of humanity and it belongs to all religions (though not religions alone)
It's for that reason in particular I became atheist and realized my beliefs were more indoctrination than truth.
There are millions of very good people who are religious. That doesn't change the "goodness" of putting an imaginary person ahead of all laws and morality. Similar to the gun debate: millions of lawful gun owners, but guns still cause mass destruction
