The common thread is groups of people = atrocities. Religion and government are two common properties that emerge from groups of people, but there are also countless examples of atrocities that involve neither.

Centralized power + sentient beings who occasionally produce sociopaths = atrocities.

This is why no one person should have so much unilateral power.
