One of them was even seen to perform at a Kant campaign event! I think there can be basically amoral people who justify their own behavior in the name of a very severe morality. The foreign fighter in Iraq who blows up 50 of his fellow Muslims because he is told to would be an example of a "religious nihilist" in this sense.
