I think the basic test for whether or not someone's morally upright and mature is if they can roundly condemn bad actions of people with basic
similarities to them without apologizing or weaseling out of it.
Every atheist should be able to roundly condemn the purges of religious people in Soviet Russia and other Communist countries.
Every Christian should be able to roundly condemn the colonialist policies of numerous European countries.
Every Muslim should be able to roundly condemn the campaigns against homosexuals and apostates in numerous Islamist countries.
Every Jew should be able to roundly condemn the Israeli campaign against Palestinians.
Every Buddhist should be able to roundly condemn Myanmar's violence against Muslims.
Every Hindu should be able to roundly condemn Hindu nationalists in India and the violence and discrimination they've inflicted against Muslims.
And every one of them should do so without pulling out a No True Scotsman fallacy or similar argument without a strong basic in fact because different people practice religion or nonreligion in radically different ways. And every one of them should be able to do so without apologizing or show even a pinch of remorse because they should understand that we are not responsible for the actions of others, even if those others have something in common with them.
