Question The most dangerous

I would like to hear your thoughts on what you consider the most dangerous sect or religious group.

We often paint with a broad brush here so I thought it my be good for all of us to put a finer point on some of our criticism.

I wouldn't name any specific denomination, I think that most dangerous are individuals who cannot separate their religious beleifs from their jobs. So that we end up with people abusing the power they have to enforce some of their religious beleifs (i.e. Shrub, Ashcfoft, etc.) or "scientists" who publish all sort of junk because their ability for critical thinking is impaired by their religious beleifs (for example "studies" that there is no overpopulation problem, go forth and multiply, hallelujah!).
