It depends on the person, not the religion.

No, us religious people are suspicious of each other.
Well, not me personally, but so many Christians are going around accusing each other of being deceived by Satan, being evil because they don't all have the exact same doctrines, etc. it's really annoying.
I do trust people a lot, but I also pay attention, so I know if there's a reason I shouldn't trust them

More trusting? Recent polls showed that the majority of Christians in the US would rather live next door to a gay or Muslim individual than an Atheist.
That's not very trusting..... They are, however, more gullible and naive.

oh I think not. religious people are very superstitious. The Evil One is everywhere ready to pounce and devour their yummy yummy souls in one bite so they're frightened and mistrustful of anyone or anything that doesn't fit in with their religious views. if they can't convert ya they'd kill ya if yet more fear (of prison) didn't prevent them from acting on the animal instinct to protect themselves from the evil invisible predator that lurks in every nonbeliever.
but they are certainly gullible to the point of stupidity sending their "love donation" to some flimflam used god salesmen. trusting the holy scam artist because he mouths familiar words at them, tells them what they want to hear, makes them feel so special for having chosen the right religion..

I think the question answers it self.
A religion is based on faith. Faith is about agree in something that you can't see. You also have to trust the person passing the idea on to you. So, yes. religious people tend to be more trusting than others.

I would have to say that generally they are. They have to put their trust in some leader to tell them to how to worship god and some of those people turn out to be total scum. Xians have to depend on more people than an atheist does

You must be kidding. More nauseatingly self-righteous perhaps. The very idea-religiosity being linked to moral virtue. What a joke that is.

If you are asking if they are more easily swindled. Sure, if you are gullible once, there is a greater likelihood you will be gullible again. That is why there are so many con-artists who prey upon the christian community.

Probably. We tend to question the motives of others less.
