Is fighting against evil seen as a great and glorious thing, worthy of the highest praise? Or is it seen as a necessary evil, with violence as the last resort? That right there will color the attitudes of the religious.
Is it necessary, in the eyes of the believers, to follow the religion to be a good and decent person, or are nonbelievers judged on there behavior?

How is conversion, if any, handled? By words and example, or by the sword?

How are those brought up in the faith, who leave the faith, doubt, or simply interpreted the religious tales, handled? (Apostates and heretics.)

There's a few questions to ask yourself.
