If it exists it has nothing to do with religion, but may use it.
The nearest I have come to seeing it was as a child. I was friendly with two brothers. One my age the other a year older. They lived nearby with an older sister and their mother.
The one my age, had a great appetite for violence. The older one was a little less physical, but clearly enjoyed the pain and suffering of others to a considerable degree. Their father was, they said, from Ireland, this was mentioned by the older one as he loved talking about the IRA. This was the old IRA and was before the Provisionals. This was strange as their other passion was the British Army. In reality I think they were looking for anything that enabled them to have violent fantasies.
One day the father came to visit. He seemed a nice enough man but then he went out for a drink with his wife. A few hours later, the alert went out. The oldest son was locked in the coal shed, his brother took the key and disappeared somewhere. The sister went to her mother's side. Somehow a call had been made to a married sister who arrived promptly. I have never seen anything like it, one of the toughest families I have ever known was reduced to quaking terror. Their well drilled response made clear that this had been the norm.
We went our separate ways and they found outlets for their "evil" in football violence, racism and extreme right wing groups. What we call evil is the symptoms of things going very wrong in our society. Many have thought those brothers were evil, probably people thought it of the father. Who knows how far back it goes?
