Do theists usually lack developed character?

I don't know how to correlate this to religion but I notice it every time.  I am not judging any of these people by their religion but instead I am reflecting back on their behavior.

In my opinion it's a chicken/egg question. I rather tend to believe that these are people looking for an anchor in their lives. They want to be taken by the hand and led every step of the way. And of course such people are easily manipulated to buy and execute every dogma put forward.

Given that the biggest predictor of religious affiliation is the affiliation of one's family, I find it a stretch to suggest that there are unique traits to religious people such as 'looking for an anchor' which differentiate them from ordinary folks. Rather I find that major differences of opinion often lead to 'explanations' that are little more than crass stereotypes. When people separated by a large divide confront each other, emotions flare, leading to all sorts of mistaken judgements, on both sides.
