List of cases of church arson

Church arson is the burning of, or attempting to burn religious property. Common motives for committing church arson are racial hatred, pyromania, greed, prejudice against certain religious beliefs or anti-religious sentiment in general. It may also be part of a sectarian campaign of communal violence, a means of anonymously registering dissent or due to churches being a soft target.
