Interfaith Group

I think they worship a psychopathic mass murderer because they don't read the bible; the preachers ignore the cruelties but if they mention it, they spin it as something positive, like Abraham's willingness to kill his son as a sacrifice on an altar. They spin it as obedience to god being a virtue, instead of pointing out that a god who tells a man to kill his son is a psychopath. A god who tells a man to kill his son is not worthy of being worshiped by a sane person. The Abrahamic god is a construct of many of the worst tendencies of humans.

They worship because of habit and social custom. Religious belief and attendance at religious rituals is a socially approved activity. Even if the content is insane, because people like habits and most people are terrified of being different. Obedience to this psychopathic god is the highest virtue, and using your own thinking processes is usually considered bad. You are to defer to the judgment of the authority figure.

These people are not necessarily bad, but could use that example of a psychopathic god to do bad things and justify it. I think they are conformists, not usually bad people. They probably don't want to think for themselves, because it's discouraged and it's easier to say "god wanted me to do it" rather than "I wanted to do it." It's easier to say "It's god's will" rather than "I don't want to take responsibility for my life."
