Being religious and being holy are not necessarily the same thing.
Being religious might mean having a fanaticism about going through the *motions* of a given religion.
But the heart of true religion is union with God.
With an ever increasing union with God, one attains a greater and greater balance of the personality.
But it is possible to have the outer form of religion without the inner substance.
That brings imbalance to the personality.
So we cannot paint all very devout persons with the same brush, but must distinguish between the authentic and the inauthentic.
All evil done in the name of Christianity was done by those who had the outer form of Christianity, but not the inner substance.
Those who had the inner substance, had all the virtues of kindness, humility, mercy, discretion, justice, goodness etc.
So religion can turn you into either a devil or an angel. It all depends upon how it is used.

All religions generate fanatics, it is the way of the beast. A little bit of Religion is like a little bit of syphilis, unless eradicated, it always gets worse. That means all religionists are the worst

Extremely religious. I am agnostic, but I do not try to tell people they are stupid for being religious.

i think anyone who presses their religion in someone elses face without it being a consentual debate, and/or without the meaning of explaining what you believe are wrong regardlessly. pressing your belief on someone is highly disrespectful of that other person. some peoples momma no teach them respect me thinks.

They are both as bad as each other. The middle road is best.
Whatever you believe keep it to yourself and allow others to do the same.
