Line 14:
* Religious people are [[The Ditz|unintelligent]] and/or [[Unwitting Pawn|easily manipulated]]. Anyone [[God Guise|impersonating their figure of worship]] or [[Hiding Behind Religion|claiming to be working on their behalf]] can get religious people to unthinkingly obey them.
* Religious people cannot get along with or tolerate anyone who doesn't follow their religion. Often to the point that they often react violently to non-believers, and the very idea of "interfaith" or "non-denominational" groups is unheard of in the story.
* Religious people refuse to allow their beliefs to be questioned and [[Berserk Button|react badly at any attempt to do so]].
* Religious people only win new followers [[Join or Die|by force]] or [[Appeal to Force|the threat of using force]].
