someone with a high internal estimate of his religion is more likely to react badly in an emotional way to someone else leaving the religion, while someone with a low internal estimate is likely to be more calm about it.

I don't think there's reason to believe that.

If someone says something I know to be utterly false I laugh. There needs to be a basis of doubt to feel bad emotionally.

If you think your friend is going to hell for eternity, you feel bad. You don't need to doubt.
