Yes, sociopathy, or Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD), can occur in individuals of various religious beliefs or lack thereof, including atheists. The presence or absence of religious beliefs does not determine whether someone may develop ASPD or any other personality disorder.
ASPD is a complex mental health condition that is influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurological factors. It is not caused by religious beliefs or lack of belief. Sociopaths may come from different religious backgrounds or hold atheistic views, just like any other group of people in the population.
It's important to remember that having ASPD does not define a person's religious or non-religious identity, and not all atheists or individuals with ASPD exhibit harmful behavior or engage in criminal activities. Likewise, people with ASPD who identify with a particular religion may still struggle with ethical and moral issues despite their religious beliefs.
The relationship between religion and personality disorders is a complex and multifaceted topic, and research in this area is ongoing. It's essential to avoid making broad generalizations about any religious or non-religious group based on the actions or characteristics of a few individuals. Each person is unique, and the development of a personality disorder like ASPD is the result of a combination of complex factors, not solely related to their religious or non-religious beliefs.
