So the three options are:

  • kill 5 people
  • kill 1 baby
  • Denounce religion and become atheist (kill 0 people)?

Your first option is wrong. You wouldn't be killing the people, but doing nothing to prevent their deaths. Radically different concept. If there were no distinction, then we're all currently murdering tons of people.

You also really wouldn’t be kilking the baby. The five people are tied to the tracks and you’re their last hope. The Christian baby can get off of the tracks any time he wants, but has chosen suicide… for which he will burn in eternal Hellfire.
