Penn Jillette has a good explanation. I don’t agree with a lot he says, but this is pretty spot on. (The clip goes kinda off the answer after about a minute)
tl;dw: If you I don’t believe in a god, what’s stopping me from raping and killing anyone I want? And the answer is: I have. I already have. I have raped and killed everyone I want to rape and kill, and the answer is… zero. There are zero people I want to rape or kill. And the question becomes: Who are these people walking around with lists of people they want to rape and kill? Why do we consider THEM the sane ones?

Had I been alive during WW2, I’m pretty sure myself and majority of my neighbors would have Hitler on the kill list.
