Religion and criminality (sects and terrorist organisations)

This paper observes the relationship between religion and criminality, considering that religion is considered the oldest contributing social factor to criminality. The relationship between religion and criminality represents a point of divergence in scientific studies. The conclusions drawn in this paper imply that the stance claiming there is no correlation between religion and criminality can be refuted, i.e., the stance claiming faith has an exclusively beneficial impact on people, regarding prevention of criminal activity, as well as atonement and rectification of the lives of perpetrators of criminal offences, can be confirmed. The negative impact of so-called religion (pseudo-religion) could be associated exclusively to destructive sects and terrorist organisations under the guise of religion. Why pseudo-religion? Because religion represents faith in the Lord and piety, while belief in fabrications and obscene ideas of perverse human souls cannot be referred to as faith and belief. For the purposes of this paper, these fabrications will be identified appropriately, as they do not warrant to be referred to as religious.
