It does give them justification, which honestly might actually be worst. Because if they can justify their decisions to be horrible people, even if only to themselves, there’s nothing they won’t do. Getting around cognitive dissonance is the real trick, and religion is a really effective excuse in that regard. People have been using it for thousands of years for that exact purpose.
People using religion to justify murder is horrible and an easy way to welcome a lot of slander to their religious community. Though if the religion states that they need to murder, then that feels more like a cult than a religion. Though there’s probably a better term idk what it would be.

Even if they were, their religion has no causation to them being bad people.
