I think that it is intellectually lazy and it is also a cheap shot. I

It was not faith that has led the 9/11 attackers, it is hatred and
zealotry. If they were not Muslim, they would find some other reason
to hate. Neither the Nazis nor the Russian Communists were motivated
by faith, but they had hatred and zealotry, and killed many more than
all of the "faith-based" evil-doers put together.
