If there is a tiny chance that almost anything is possible because of the strange laws of quantum physics and hence reality splits up in to lots of parallel universes and (by chance) a person in one universe turns evil and massacres his family. What do religious believers expect will happen to this man's soul? Will he be damned? Will he go to lots of parallel afterlives? How do religious people excuse this?

I'm not sure I totallay understand your question.
I doubt that very religious people would believe in the theory of parallel universes.

OK, it's like this, everything is dictated on the atomic and sub-atomic scale by chance. Every so often the improbable can translate into reality. There is a tiny chance that, for instance, chemical imbalances or a tiny genetic defect in an individual could cause the same person who might have otherwise been saintly to be a murder/ rapist. In fact quantum theorists state that reality fractures into parallel universes where many of these otherwise unlikely events happen (although the vast majority probably go along similar paths to our own). What happens to that individual. Are they exclusively damned or saved? Or would God do different things to the same person in different parallel universes?
Any clearer? :)

If paralell universes do exist, then hypothetically, their soul would be dammed (if you are religious) in that one reality or universe so to speak. For the other paralell universes, well thats another story :)
I wonder if in another paralell universe; where the world was primarily socialist, would we all be talking on a pro-impiralist community? :lol:

This is obviously irrelevant because there is no way that a god could exist and this is just one more example. Religious people probably either don't know about quantum physics or dismiss it as heritical along with all the other proof of the lack of existance of god.
