Religious abuse is abuse administered under the guise of religion, including harassment or humiliation, which may result in psychological trauma. Religious abuse may also include misuse of religion for selfish, secular, or ideological ends such as the abuse of a clerical position.
One example of religious abuse is manipulating other people in order to convert them to one's religion. Another example is offering assistance that is conditional upon conversion to a particular religion.
Religious parents may be perceived as abusive because they enforce more rules, a higher set of standards and morals than is the norm, but believe it is necessary to teach there children what God expects of them according to their understanding of the Bible. It is all perspective and true intentions.
