But that's the thing, I didn't see anywhere in that article that their religious beliefs were the cause of or used to justify the murder. It does have the judge saying that she was suffering from religious delusions at the time. Do you think that implies that those delusions were the cause? I didn't see it that way, but the article never actually says what exactly happened. Maybe her delusions were the cause, however, I just couldn't infer that from the article.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
