O, sancta simplicitas!
You forgot to note that I used the definition "zealous Christians", you added "Good" to the "Christians"
Anyway you can't prove that looters aren't Christians, and therefore can't be moved by religious motives when they took the bodies from the crash site. And even if they are all die-hard atheists, they nevertheless might be motivated by common practice to keep dead in morgues and give them a decent burial.
Don't forget another point - these guys kill and got killed at daily basis, dead passengers are just like other corpses to them, no privileges for civilians, something like that, may be.
Besides, if all that bull#### about hordes of FSB agents/cossacks roaming around is right, it only reinforce my assumption about religious motives - cossacks are MAD about their Orthodoxy, they can't leave dead to rot.
ps. I believe the ideas of secular and utilitarian ethics aren't new to you.
pps. and please, don't mix up "excusing", "explaining" and "explaining away"
ppps. If all this explanations are nonsence to you and you just want to get high moral ground - well, enjoy it.
