I know "Christians" who are good people, but they are not devout.

I do think the more devout a religious person is, then inversely the more immoral they tend to become. Of course in their own eyes, these people are "moral" in the religious sense, but in the real world there's nothing moral about shoving your unwanted opinions down other peoples' throats.

That's how I feel. Sure, I guess there's some people out there who are strictly religious in their own personal life choices but don't care what other people do, but those people are few and far between. Most extremely devout Christians and Muslims can't keep their religion and their opinions to themselves, because being a parasite who has to spread the religion is a core theme of both faiths.

This is what I have noticed too. I don't know the people in question well enough to give a proper judgement really. I know people who seem nice overall, but I don't know what I'd find if I kept digging.

Especially when it comes to Christianity, the more closely you follow the bible, the more of a horrible person you are going to be. You only have to read the book (all of it not cherry pick it) to see why that is. The good people are the bad christians (biblically speaking); in other words they ignore most of the bible. They justify this to themselves and others one way or another. I don't really care how they justify it, as long as they keep on ignoring it.

The ways in which Christians are "nice" are generally when they have cherry picked bits of Christianity which line up with sensible, secular morality. The more they deviate from this, the more immoral they become in my eyes.
