The Ignorance of Believers

How many times after the arrest of someone for a terrible crime have you heard comments like these?
"He was a good christian man, I can't believe it."
"We were shocked. He went to church every week."

Well it isn't just christians who are so easily fooled. I found the following comments interesting concerning some of the terror-plot suspects in the U.K.

A friend from Henry Maynard Primary School said that Mr. Savant was a talented footballer, extremely well known and liked in the area. “I‘m completely shocked that this has happened and I think anyone who knows him would be shocked as well,” he said. Full article.

"All I know is they are peaceful, religious people. They were teaching Koran and all that to the young kids. I'm shocked, I'm sure they've got the wrong people." Full article

Hello people? First of all, why would you think a convert to Islam would be peaceful? What is the link between peacefulness and Islam? I certainly don't see it. Secondly, why are people shocked by the actions of religious people? Why should we be surprised that the vast majority of crimes are committed by religious people?

As we atheists know, religion is a delusion and delusional people act without regard for others. Wake up world!
