Believers. Those who have followed blindly what they have been told to do and believe have caused some of the greatest atrocities known to man.

I think it would depend on the situation - for some employers thinkers are most dangerous and a believer is best to have, maybe the same thing in political organizations, me personally - i think the thinkers are the most dangerous (being least predictable)

I think believers could be more dangerous than thinkers. Thinkers form their own opinions by virtue of their thought processes combined with their own character. Believers don't necessarily do that. They may come to believe something that they haven't thought through. Cults come to mind. In my life, I'd much prefer being known as a thinker than a believer. Sounds much more logical to me. Interesting: you have a great "mind".

I don't think either would be or, but one of both... I think it would be the brain washers who would be the most dangerous... A deceptive mind is sometimes both a thinker and a believer, even if what they believe is to be wicked...
Or things done out of malice... Not good, not something I want in my life....
For me, I am a beliver of truth and honesty... Real love... Although I have not yet grasp it all the way...

Thinkers use their mind and logic. Believers follow what other people say, like the time in Nazi Germany, when everybody followed Hitler like a god. So believers are more dangerous.

Ah my dear, we are all believers.
Even if we believe there is nothing to believe in.
But if you're asking does Religion make man more dangerous, I would say yes. It makes man more likely to breed. More willing to lay down his life for the sake of the community. More moral in his treatment of others. Hence more dangerous.
Which is why Darwinistic law will cause Religion to persist.
Nice question. Though the inference that belief is the opposite of thinking is a bit much. People who lack faith usually think they are more intelligent, but I have seen no clear indication that they are.

thinkers if their thoughts are applied into something evil. on the other hand, believers could be dangerous too, if they refuse to believe the truth about something.

Danger to who? ...If believers are more dangerous then everybody you see is dangerous coz the majortiy of people are believers. Including you and me. Unless you don't believe in anything...not even the fact that our Earth revolves around the Sun or that you breathe an air.

believers because they basically believe in "Zero" , thinkers take mankind forward coz they recognize only one absolute : the rational thinking mind.

Where is the connection? Thinkers can murder or save humanity. Believers can murder or save humanity. Your dichotomy is tenuous.
