They enable the ones who do cause problems.

Helping others do harm but not physically doing it yourself does not absolve you of responsibility.

Many of them do speak out against and actively oppose those who use religion as an excuse for bigotry.

Then some idiot responds with "No True Scotsman" and thinks they made a brilliant retort against someone who you would think they would be on the same side as.
