The lawful status of a death doesn't come into it, it's the morality.
For instance, it's been lawful to kill a Welshman inside the limits of certain cities after sunset with a longbow, but it doesn't make such a killing moral.
It also doesn't have to be a death, using religion to justify prejudice against others is a more widespread issue.
