I am interested in your opinion. Do you agree with the statement below or do you think such an action is immoral?

the majority of civilized peoples would consider organizing the deaths of innocent people amoral

Opposing views can be wrong without meaning the people are bad, or that they are not worthy of some respect.

I have been to Hebrew school, in my early years, and I have been to CCD (catechism) in my teen years. In neither place was the impression ever conveyed to me that one should be intolerant of the beliefs of others. Maybe it was a function of growing up after Vatican II, but I was taught to respect others, even though they did not have "the fullness of truth"........

"Unfortunately, religion so often teaches that opposing views are wrong."

So does math, and logic. Would you care to explain why you think mutually exclusive and opposite claims can both be right?
