Well, hearing voices that seem real but are really in your head goes beyond Christianity. I find it more likely that people who hear voices and are Christians will generally interpret it as the voice of God, which isn't really Christianity's fault. It could just as easily be attributed to a ghost or something. Don't get me wrong, I think plenty of nasty things can be blamed on religion, but I don't think it turns people schizophrenic, and I don't see how it could make already insane people any more dangerous than they would have been otherwise. (While the 'personal relationship with God' bit is crazy in itself, and I don't get how a sane person could believe it, plenty of them obviously do.)
