But most religions are against violence, so it's all kind of silly, a crazy christian isn't going to attack you out of fear of god. It's an atheist you've got to watch out for because they don't believe they have to answer to anyone or anything (they may obey "man made" laws but on the inside they feel that way).
Yeah way back in history, involving other christians, ect, ect. Not exactly relevant to everyday people in western society. The people YOU need to watch out for are Atheist in mind. Evil lives next door to you, not in some church.
With all due respect, you are incorrect, sir. Multiple peer-reviewed studies have found no evidence supporting your position, and in many cases have actively proven the opposite. The following link takes you to an article that lays out the studies in layman’s terms, and provides links to the originals should you choose to look deeper into this issue.
Is it normal that highly religious people scare me?

When infact it's someone with no strong opinions that is the one to watch out for, because you never know where they stand.
They also tend to be really boring.

Perhaps, but some become violent with their opinions. I'd like to avoid those people. And boring people are pretty easy to ignore.

That didn't stop the countless religious wars from happening...
But I think it is safe to say that religion does not prevent people from becoming violent. And sometimes it drives it.

I guess you aren't considering the Middle East...
But both religious and non-religious people are capable of channeling the dark side of humanity.

And rightly so, because the middle east has nothing to do with me or you.
