@LietuvaiteMetaliste I don't think witch hunts were motivated by religion so much as they were a desperate attempt to make the plague go away. When everyone's getting sick and dying, people feel helpless. When people feel helpless, they try to find something within striking distance to blame the diseases on.

Hence why elderly women and jews were falsely accused of bringing plague and burned. It's the same reason why people blame vaccines for diseases that conventional science is still struggling to find the real cause for.
