I believe the other name for it is spiritual abuse. Religion is like any other substance that can be addictive, when used responsibly it can be fine, even good. It can be and is often abused. Many people use it in the stead of healthier connections like friendship and companionship. Some people use it as a tool to judge others.
That's a much better thought out answer.
