Excommunication, the exclusion from a religious community, is most often used by Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Judaism as a punitive measure for political purposes.
Incidence:
Historical examples of excommunication include Pugachev and Tolstoy being excommunicated from the Russian Orthodox Church, Huss and Bruno excommunicated by the Catholic Church, and Spinoza being excommunicated from Judaism. A recent excommunication in the Roman Catholic Church involved a person in the southern USA who, in the 1960s, publicly opposed the racial integration of church schools.
