My point was not that little things lead to atrocities, but that even atrocities have to begin with small stuff.

That argument leads to mutually exclusive conclusions("Allowing teachers to lead Christian prayers is the first step toward theocracy!" "Prohibiting teachers from leading Christian prayers is the first step toward pogroms!"), and thus cannot be accepted without further qualifications.
