There are many reasons why religious people can come across as "whackos" to those outside of their faith. Firstly, some religious beliefs may seem strange or extreme to non-believers due to their spiritual nature and/or lack of empirical evidence. Furthermore, some religiouspeople are motivated by doctrines that emphasize judgmental attitudes towards those who don’t follow their particular religion. Lastly, it can be difficult for members of one religion to understand and appreciate the varying beliefs of another, which can lead to hostility or dismissal.

It has been suggested that Religious people are driven to be overly zealous, sometimes aggressive and disruptive, because they feel that their beliefs are under attack. This can create a siege mentality among some religious people and lead to extreme measures of defending their beliefs. Therefore the proverb "A watched pot boils over" could very well refer to how some religious folk behave when they feel observed or targeted.
