This, indirectly, explains a main difference between religion and atheism. To Jesus, sin begins in the heart and mind; your inner intent, and not with getting caught, brought to trial and then sentenced; final confirmed sensory reality.
Some of the victims of police brutality had large rap sheets and therefore victimized ten times more people, than all these charges against them. These silent victims, without sensory confirmation by the system, still exist, but were not counted when these criminals met their terminal justice. To the Left, it is only what you can see that counts; video evidence. If a tree falls in the woods, and nobody is there to see or hear it, does it make a sound? Materialism may have to say no evidence, while religion will say yes, based on the intent of the natural physics laws of sound. Confirmed reality without senses.
If you only base your opinion on what you can sense, then technically the criminals lurking in the dark that nobody can see, is sinless. Also if you commit a crime, but have a good shady lawyer who gets you off and can purge your record, to materialists, you are innocent since there is no hard proof.
Religious tend to go deeper into the abstract world of conscience and natural and human intent, which goes beyond what is obvious to the five senses. For example, just because nobody in the Swamp has been punished does not mean that crimes were not committed. Shallow materialists may disagree; where is the proof. Spiritual Justice, on the other hand, is about an abstraction beyond the limited shallow and visible world seen and sensed by materialism.
Science has to stop at the hard evidence, and not natural intent that may not be visible; hypothesis. Hypothesis is not enough without sensory evidence. Liberalism stays in the shallows, while religion responds to a deeper standard that needs more brain power to process.
