well, intolerance isn't necessarily cruelty, either.

Are there actually studies on that? I know there have been studies on kindness and the role religion may play, but the opposite? It would be interesting to see.

Anecdotally, the most religious people I know run the gamut. The worst was my father, who was convinced that he saw god and that god spoke to him and told him he was a good person, doing a good job living. My father is a convicted and currently rotting in prison child molester, so....

I don't know that any study has been done regarding that relationship. I wonder if Milgram documented religious leanings in his study back in the 60s?
