If a Catholic shot up an army base I doubt too many assume religion played a part. People would first assume he was mentally ill or holding a grudge against someone there. Plenty of white "Christians" have shot up schools, office buildings, and post offices. Rarely is religion immediately thought to be the cause.

I get your point though. If it had been an abortion clinic it would be probably be assumed that right wing religious views played a part.
