Även jag får väl be om ursäkt då... Sorry. Men mer engelska än så blir det inte från mig
No problem, I'm full Swede for at least five generations so there's no need for anyone to reply in English.

Nja, en övertygelse kan ju få någon att göra något den aldrig skulle göra annars. Tror jag....

Ok gäller det en ateistisk övertygelse också då?
A person is always much more than her religious identity, the Pope isn't only a Catholic he also holds a Masters degree in chemistry for example. And if somebody says "I'm a theist", then you know much less about that person than you know about the Pope, and you can't really tell if that person is an idiot or not.
That being said, you know even less about an atheist than you do about a theist. The atheist might very well be a murdering psychopath, you don't know. But you do know that the atheist is less likely to believe nonsense based on faith alone, and that she is less likely to hold any dangerous religious beliefs that can cause idiotic actions.
I don't think it is very productive to discuss whether atheists or theists are the biggest idiots. It is more relevant to discuss which specific beliefs lead to specific actions from the person holding those beliefs, particularly bad actions. These beliefs can be both of religious and nonreligious origin. Atheism or theism by themselves probably do not cause evil actions.
Edit: although I am not entirely sure of the entire definition of theism
