It might be the other way around. Sadistic people with delusions of
inadequacy might be using religion as an excuse for torture.
A simpler explanation is that religion is evil. I found a fuller

"Boys trafficked for human sacrifices

"People who are desperate will seek out witchcraft experts to cast
spells for them. Members of the workshops state that for a spell to
be powerful it required a sacrifice involving a male child
unblemished by circumcision" - leaked Metrpolitan police report
Story in full AFRICAN boys are being murdered as human sacrifices in
London churches, according to a shocking Scotland Yard report.
The Metropolitan Police has uncovered a trade in black boys being
trafficked into the city. A number of fundamentalist sects believe
powerful spells require the ritual killing of male children.
The leaked report also reveals countless examples of African children
killed after being identified as "witches" by church pastors.
The ten-month study was commissioned in the wake of the inquiry into
the death of eight-year-old Victoria Climbié, who was brought to
Britain from Ivory Coast by relatives and was starved and brutalised
after they said she was possessed by the devil.
A police spokesman said: "The Met undertook a project based on
recommendations arising from the Victoria Climbié report aimed at
improving our knowledge of issues impacting child abuse within the
African and Asian communities of London."
Working in Newham and Hackney, community partnership officers ran a
number of workshops with various sections of these communities
debating issues such as female genital mutilation, physical
chastisement, forced marriage and faith-related child abuse.
The leaked report is quoted as saying: "People who are desperate will
seek out witchcraft experts to cast spells for them.
"Members of the workshops state that for a spell to be powerful it
required a sacrifice involving a male child unblemished by circumcision.
"They allege the boy children are being trafficked into the UK for
this purpose."
The report is also quoted as saying that children may be brought to
Britain as sex slaves, some of them for men with HIV who believe that
if they have sex with a child they will be cleansed.
In discussions with African community leaders, officers were told of
numerous examples of children being murdered because their parents or
carers believed them to be possessed by evil spirits.
Police are now investigating the claims further. The police spokesman
said: "The aim of the project was to open a dialogue within these
communities and encourage a debate which would help reduce the risks
of harm to children.
"The recommendations in the report, due to be published later this
month, are being carefully considered at the highest levels in the
MPS in conjunction with partner agencies and community groups."
The report concludes police face a "wall of silence" when dealing
with the fundamentalist African community.
Earlier this month, two women were convicted at the Old Bailey of
torturing an eight-year-old child they accused of being a witch.
The girl, an orphaned refugee from war-torn Angola, was stabbed,
kicked, beaten, had chilli peppers rubbed in her eyes and was forced
into a laundry bag and threatened with drowning in a river.
Last month, Scotland Yard revealed it had only been able to trace two
of 300 black boys aged four to seven reported missing from London
schools in a three-month period.
Child welfare experts say the number highlights the scale of the
trade in children brought to Britain. The figure emerged through the
murder inquiry following the discovery of a child's torso in the
Thames in September 2001.
The identity of the victim, named "Adam" by police, is not known, but
his background was traced to Nigeria.
It is believed he died in a ritual sacrifice. Detectives asked each
London education authority to give them details of black boys aged
four to seven reported missing from school between July and September
2001. It emerged that 300 had vanished, 299 from Africa and one from
the Caribbean.
The true figure for missing boys and girls is feared to be several
thousand a year.
Scotland Yard's report into child abuse in the wake of the death of
Victoria Climbié was leaked to the BBC.
Victoria was beaten, burned with cigarettes and made to sleep in an
empty bath. She died in 2000 from hypothermia and malnutrition. Her
great-aunt and her great-aunt's boyfriend were jailed for life for
murder."
