since they were carrying his image with them. I wonder if they know that Jesus was a Jew, assuming that he existed at all?

Of course, those people are idiots, but they're Christians, all the same. Religions are often used to discriminate against, harm, and even kill people, in the name of their deities. This is just another example of that truth.

Not all Christians, of course, but some, to be sure. Many Nazis during WWII were also Christians.

Religion does not necessarily benefit society. Sometimes, religion gives over to unbelievable evil and cruelty. One has to ask about the existence of the omnipotent, omnipresent deities being worshiped, it seems to me. It seems to me that such actions belie that existence pretty dramatically.

Such things are another reason I am an atheist.
