I think you confuse religious reality with the benign stories that religious groups like to tell about themselves. There will of course be compassion towards people in their in-group even if they are paedophiles or murderers. Most Christians in western societies are mostly in it for the holidays and maybe have some left over esoteric belief in a god but don't really live their lives
according to Christian dogmas. You can see that often in the outrage when a Pope says something stupid about women or homosexuality.
People who don't believe themselves will have a harder time understanding that others might
believe.
For anyone capable of logical thought
any existing religious belief
People abuse the terms "logic" and "logical", conflating them with "correct", "reasonable" and various other things that mostly boil down ro "what I think is right". An argument or line of reasoning can start from false/weak axioms and still be entirely logical.
