So............you think religion had NOTHING to do with this?
Douglas Yim, 33 was found guilty of first-degree murder on Tuesday, Sept. 3, for shooting and killing Dzuy Duhn Phan, 25. Yim killed Phan after a night of partying with alcohol and coc aine, playing video games, and arguing about the existence or nonexistence of God
. . .
Park said that Phan was teasing Yim about his belief in God, asking Yim where God was every time Yim lost the video game. According to Park, things escalated when Yim became enraged and grabbed his gun after Phan asked Yim where God was when Yim’s father died of a stroke several years earlier.

What gives you that idea?

EDIT
Since I doubt you have actually read carefully any of the reports or my posts for that matter, those charged with the murder literally said they had to stab the demons out of the children.
The general perception is that this woman is of some denomination of Christianity,
so there should be evidence of what exorcism rites involve.
No one was burned at a stake or dunked in water
and there was no literature.
The woman has a history of mental illness.
Santería, also known as La Religión, Regla de Ocha, La Regla Lucumí or Lukumi,[1][2] is a syncretic religion of West African and Caribbean origin influenced by and syncretized with Roman Catholicism
Is every schizo murder a religious murder now?

How does something like this happen? Their pastor didn't have any idea that something was wrong. This is sad, sick, and just plain crazy. None of it makes any sense to me. I think there has to be more to the story than what people are saying.

Religious & American fearmongering...
hard at work!
The hearings for each woman underscored how the case appears to be a jumble of belief in demonic possession laced with some level of mental illness.
Avery and Sanford met at Exousia Ministries, a Germantown church that meets in a local elementary school on Sundays, said Capt. Marcus Jones, commander of the police department's Major Crimes Unit. While there, Avery was part of a dance group and started calling herself a demon assassin, he said. But it didn’t set off any alarms because she didn’t talk about violence.
“She was basically saying that her job — as of lover of Christ — was that she was going to keep demons away from her,” Jones said. “That was part of her and Ms. Sanford’s goal.”
Detectives spoke to the pastor of the church, asking him if he had any concerns about the name. “He thought it was a little bit eccentric,” Jones said, “a little bit over the top.” But he didn’t think there was anything violent. There weren’t “any spoken words about exorcisms that would occur,” Jones said.
