The
abuse
of religious belief to justify
harm
.
A word I coined to describe that mindset that allows an individual to think he is acting on behalf of God, when he commits an act of
violence
, or when he discriminates against people he hates.
The dyspiety of the
fundamentalist
inevitably
leads to a
backlash
against his beliefs.
