A parable for all religions.

Chad Daybell was sentenced to death for murdering some of his family members. Some people attribute his crazy, murderous behavior to his Mormon faith because the LDS church is well known for producing offshoots and splinter groups that get very weird and dangerous. But other religions, maybe all religions, generate cult groups, charismatic leaders, etc.
