Summary/Abstract: At present, the attention of the international community has turned to religious violence, regardless of religious fanatics, religious terrorists or other forms of extreme manifestation of religiosity. The issue is not generated by the religious phenomenon or religiosity that such actors, such as the religious sects or cults, manifest, and the religious fanaticism of some of the members of such religious entities.

That is, what motivates some individuals to adopt such behavior, and the characteristics of such religious fanatics, and how it generates risks to national security.
