Unfortunately they believe that their god will punish everyone (them included) even for other people’s misconduct in the community. Ancient Judaism has this principle and the old testament is full of examples of this, but this caused no big harm outside the Jewish community because it only applies to “the elected people” and not to everyone in the world. The problem started with Christianity, more in detail with St. Paul’s doctrine of ecumenism, which extended to everyone this dangerous belief. With consequences we are still paying 2000 years after.
