People aren't rooting for the death of billions of non-believers so much as they're awaiting the return of their savior and the end of pain, suffering, etc.
People can try to characterize it that way, but what they're really saying is the world isn't the way I want it to be, so wipe the slate clean. You've certainly seen that over and over in our lifetime, this gleeful acceptance of every event as a presage to the end times, this crazy fascination with eschatology and apocalyptic prediction from the turn of the millennium until even now. It's very self-centered, I think, this 'bring on the end times!' philosophy, but that's human nature.

Personally I think this stuff is even crazier than the most woowoo of the ufo believers, but hey anything is possible.
