* In ''Literature/VoidDomain'', rank and file of the local group of ChurchMillitants wear white habits. While they're generally seen as good guys, being hunters of undeath and necromancy, they tend to take their operations to extremes. It isn't unheard of for them to attack people on suspicion or start a battle while innocents are nearby.

* In ''Roleplay/TheGamersAlliance'', many clerics of Cardia, the God of Order, are more than willing to torture and enslave half-demons who they see as abominations and kill any Chaos worshipper they get their hands on as a means of delivering justice. Artemicia, despite being the Goddess of Healing, has tried to kill her demigod son Leon on several occasions, and her clergy has also committed atrocities, organizing ethnic cleansings and forcing warrior tribes of the desert to accept their religion in place of the Old Ways.
