I can but presume that their US brethren (and sisteren) hew to a similar line.

The Roman Catholics murdered upward of 60 million people during the reign of the various Inquisitions, but that doesn't make every RC a murderer.

The Atheists in the persons of dictators like Stalin and Mao have murdered hundreds of millions of people, but that doesn't make every Atheist a murderer.

Now please grow up. Disclaimer: I am not represented in any of the above groups.

Speaking of outrageous, the "60 million" (or more commonly "50 million") claim for the inquisition is completely a fraudulant claim, spread mainly by the opponents of the Catholic Church a century or two ago.

The number that died over 350 years, mostly at the hands of the secular government, were around 3000.

More recent and objective research has exposed the myth quite soundly.
