Religions sometimes cause crimes
Religions can make their believers feel that they are allowed to kill others by the name of their god. So far, there have been many crimes related to religions. This site shows you some crimes which were done by religious believer and how they justify their crimes.
> Christianity
Holly bible forbidden sin acts. Of course that include killing people. However, how about the Crusades? Wasn't that sin acts? The Crusades was started in 1095. The goal of it was to capture the Jerusalem. To achieve it, Christianity people went there and fought with non-Christians. The pope at that time said to believers that "it's not the sin, if you kill non-Christians", "if you go and fight in holly land, you will be forgiven all of your past sins" So that, many believers joined to the Crusades and killed many people who were not Christian. They did not feel guilty. Adversely, they felt that was good things to do.
>Buddhist
Buddhist is also have influence on its believer, even to make believers kill people.
"In the Mahayana Mahaparinirvana Sutra it is told how the Buddha in one of his former lives killed some Brahmin heretics. This was done to protect the Doctrine, and to save them themselves from the consequences of continued attacks on it."
"The Phenomenon Of Religion: A Thematic Approach" by Moojan Momen (1999) [Book Review]34
For example, in May 2013, Buddhist monks attacked mosques and burned more than 70 homes in Oakkan, North of Rangoon. The reason of that, was just because one of Muslim girl on a bicycle crashed into a monk. By the Buddhist attacks, one person dided and nine were injured.
Needless to say, that was a crime. However, for the Buddhist monks, that was not a crime, because the monk was threaten.

>Islam
Islam is also a religion that have power on its believer. It is said that there are 109 verse in Quran that says having war against those who are not believing Islam is allowed thing to do for the sake of Islamic rule.
One obvious example of that is the ISIS. It started from 2006, and they have been killing non Islam believers by the name of their god. For the case example of them, in 2015, two Japanese Kenji Goto and Haruna Yukawa were taken as hostage and killed by ISIS. The reason of that is because those Japanese were disbelievers.
Here is one testimony from ISIS members, and it says, "We hate you, first and foremost, because you are disbelievers; you reject the oneness of Allah – whether you realize it or not".
