Religious paranoia is an irrational fear of being purposefully attacked by an outside agent(s) in or through some religious context. Some examples: :# The fear of one's soul being stolen :# The fear of being tempted by demons :# The fear of being plotted against by cultists :# The fear of being a target of God or Satan It is a condition which has been compared to extremism and intolerance. It has been cited as a possible contributor to political violence.〔(Presidential peril: Assassin Nation ), ''Globe and Mail'', May 31, 2008〕 It is often related to splitting, psychological projection, a desire to maintain a sense of purity in situations of real or perceived persecution, and rigid and unchallengeable attitudes.〔''The destructive power of religion: violence in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam'', J. Harold Ellens, Greenwood Publishing Group, 2007 ISBN 0-275-99708-1, ISBN 978-0-275-99708-3〕 In an alternate form of religious paranoia of a psychiatric nature, the patient can suffer from a permanent delusion of a primarily religious nature. He could, for example, believe that he is the messenger of God who has been sent to the world to propagate some religion. ==See also== * Group dynamics * Islamophobia * Mass hysteria * Moral panic * Paranoia * Religious intolerance * Social psychology 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Religious paranoia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
