I treat religious people as dormant terrorists.
They may be a good neighbor, a fun sex partner (although rarely for my standards) or even a loving SO, but deep inside they all made a compromise with non rational arguments and that will come up at different stages of stress.
The people you are describing have that threshold very low, but you are no different than them to me.

A little stronger wording than I'd normally use, but fundamentally my opinion. Any religious person either is incapable of or does not care to base their actions and opinions on reality, and that proclivity will manifest in other aspects of their life.

I treat it more as a form of mental illness akin to schizophrenia or psychosis. They live in a fantasy world and if you encroach on that world wrongly they can turn ugly on you.
