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.
Not inclined to agree there; that's actually more of a one-
dimensional point of view -- simplistic rather than simple, or
perhaps oversimplified.
China has been abusing Tibet now for half a century; yet it's China
that is purportedly the atheist nation, not Tibet. If religion were
the evil force, one would expect China to convert to some flavor of
it and use that to justify their power-grabs.
Communism is a quasi-religion. Religions don't have to be theistic.
