I seriously believe that many people who follow strict fundamentalist religious doctrines like this do it so that they don't have to think for themselves.
I also think that there is a distinct possibility that people who behave in the ways described in that article sincerely believe that "unbelievers" are somehow less than human, so they think it doesn't matter how you treat them.
I like to think that someday, maybe when they die and confront their God, they will be in for a biiiiiig surprise.
