That is pretty much what religion is good for. Man is flawed and will not be perfect. So, man's justice isn't perfect either. Take 50 years ago. Crime then was not as easily stopped as today with DNA testing, etc, etc. We keep getting better but probably will never reach perfection. This means that to escape judgment, all I have to do is outwit my fellow man at this time.
But with religion, watch out. Even if I am good enough to outwit mankind, there is still an omnipotent force that will punish me. So, if I get caught by man, I get double punishment because the deity has no respect for the double jeopardy rules. IOW, punishment once is certain, twice is possible.
