It can be. However, it could be a stabilizing influence in their lives.
Anyone can pick a topic and blame it for all the trouble in the world. People are the cause of the problems. Whether it's ignorance or indifference, or some belief , if it is intent on hate and destruction, it doesn't waver. You can claim anything, but if you hate or maim or kill, you not religion or other excuses are to blame.

When your culture is based on the teachings of a book. It has a profound influence.
Religion was invented as a control for the masses. Fear is a powerful tool for control. And people interpret things in books and "speeches" in vastly different ways.
I do agree, individuals are ultimately responsible for their actions. But some don't have any presence of mind outside the smoke & mirrors of religion. And believe that their sins will be forgiven.
Even bloody Priests can be pedos.
It's just bollocks to me.

I think it was Mark Twain who said...if people are so bad with religion, think how much worse they might be without it.

It must be. A minority of atheists with something to prove (and lots of it) must know something
