"Better" is subjective, just like morality. I have my own moral code, and so do the people who kill infidels. The fact that they place their morality upon a pedestal of their God makes no difference to me. I reject it all the same.

Nobody cares what you reject.

If you're fine with Muslims beheading people over cartoons of Muhammad, then you're my enemy.

You're more fine with it than I am, since you have no morals standard outside your tiny brain.

If you need to externalize your morality and posit it to God, that's fine. That is the exact same justification that is used by radical islamists, but your moral standards are probably more agreeable.

I am comfortable calling my moral principles my own. As with all ethical systems, irreconcilable differences will lead to violence independent of who justifies theirs with a deity.

There is no practical difference.
