I have always suspected that those who are the most certan about things that cannot be verified have the most difficulty when their beliefs are confronted with other beliefs. Since all religion is basically speculation about the attributes of a non-verifiable entity, there must be some lurking doubt deep in the minds of the zealot. It is when this doubt is aroused by questions or contrary beliefs that the zealot is most dangerous.

My 37 yrs I have seen 20 times more violence come from non religious people than I have religious.
Perfect example is right here on Yahoo Answers. You see a ton of atheists starting stuff, attempting to create fights, etc. Yet you don't see religious people off in other areas attempting to start stuff.
The blame belongs where it belongs.....on those that are guilty.

No, the murdering people that say if you don't
believe like they do, then they should kill you because
God told them to are wrong.
They are killers and,
Killing is a sin.
The wages of sin is death.
God wants to give ALL to the last second a chance to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and believe
in Him.

When people regard their belief in god higher than their responsibility to others, we will have that possibility.
Since religious texts (bible, quran, etc.) are malleable enough to arrive at malicious interpretation, sometimes it happens that the fervent adherent will accept the malicious interpretation and try to perpetrate it.

Ignorance and fear. They are ignorant about all things except the twisted version of their religious book, and they are scared that people will show them they are wrong to believe.

Because if someone is attempting to restrain you from worshipping God, it is a damned good reason to fight.
Perhaps you are just too much of a pussy to fight for what you believe - or is it that you just don't believe in anything at all? Miserable itch.
