They too are on a mission to secure the galaxy for Humankind in the name of Humanity's god the Emperor and they too have no mercy on those deemed incompatible. Does the fact that the Tau's vision is secular rather than religious make them somehow better?

The fact that the Tau don't exterminate alien races whenever they come acroos them makes them better. Using Supah's example, if the Imperium were the Christian missionaries, they would've exterminated all the people in Africa.

Humanities bad experience with aliens was (I think) was due to a single hyper-violent race that Terra was relatively close to. Since that war, humanity simply hated aliens ever since.
