Exorcism is a practice that claims to drive evil spirits or demons out of a person, to relieve alleged symptoms of mental illnesses or other unusual behaviour. However, we now know conclusively that mental illnesses and unusual behaviour are not caused by demons. Belief in possession by evil spirits has not entirely died out and a few people sometimes still take part in "exorcisms", although the demon does not really exist.

Rituals of exorcism, when undertaken in a misguided attempt to assist a mentally ill person, are dangerous - not because demons exist, but because proper medical help is delayed. Rituals of exorcism, if undertaken in a misguided attempt to force a vulnerable person to return to a religious community, would be a gross violation of human rights.
