Religion should be about how you conduct yourself (amongst other things). But power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. (Churchill).

And there are those that get off on the power trip. Any coterie will do if it satisfies the someone's power craze, and to deal with it the club has to wield power, which inevitable comes from people with a propensity for power plus a balanced sense of morality - and they ain't so thick on the ground.

Was it ever thus. And yes there was a court case in Lundun where some poor kid was killed by religious people on the premise of inherent evil. And Nigeria/Christian figured in the equation.
