Three members of a Muslim family were shot to death Tuesday in their home near the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus.

The suspect, 46-year-old Craig Stephen Hicks, surrendered and was arrested on charges of first-degree murder. He is accused of killing Deah Barakat, 23, Barakat's wife, Yusor Abu-Salha, 23, and Yusor's sister, Razan Abu-Salha, 21.

I get riled up more than most people at some of the things said when a religious person commits an atrocity; but that's not the best way to be. Rather if I am upset at the insinuations that all religion is to blame for the actions of one disturbed individual, it's dishonest to then attack all atheists on the backs of this one disturbed individual.

More the point it takes the focus away from where it should be; with the victims of this tragedy and their families.

Or that's my opinion.
