Of course it's religious. If this guy wasn't a muslim he wouldn't have done what he did.

Saying he's not a "real" muslim is just like saying a muslim that drinks alcohol is not a real muslim. or saying a muslim woman who doesn't wear hijab is not a "real" muslim. You can't pick and choose who you think is a "real" muslim and who is not.

That being said, there are plenty of fanatics of all religions. Not just muslim. It is not only the religion of Islam that creates fanatics. just like not all members of the KKK kill black people, but the ideology does create hate. Not all KKK members have done evil things, but the ideology, the belief system does create a toxic environment.

You are going off at a tangent alex, simply I am saying the guy had a political grievance and message, this was not done in the name of religion even though he shouted 'praise to Allah' at the end.
