There are religions that fight baby-killers, by saying that babies have a soul, and should not be aborted or be the subject of euthanasia. There are _other_ religions that promote baby-killers, by devaluating baby-girls and making it ok to abort girl fetuses or to abandon baby girls. AFAIK, those that died in the tragedy subscribed to the second type of religion. Now, let's go through the whole spectrum of human life, and see which religions or atheistic morality systems are more or less protective of humanity. I predict that a few religions would be more human than most atheistic morality systems.
