    It’s always the Devil who tries to convince everyone that he speaks for God.

      I’d remove the religious implications and say “it’s always those who are most convinced they have a monopoly on Truth who are most dehumanizing to the out-group”

          Fair point, but using ambiguous religious language to convey the dangers of religion seems a bit open to misinterpretation, imo.
