You brought your religion. As the citation shows they are less likely to molest children. I never commented on the main article but I will comment on religious bigotry. It’s a myth.

According to a study conducted by researchers at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, “4,392 priests and deacons had allegations of child sexual abuse from 1950 to 2002 against 10,667 children, representing approximately 4% of all priests in the United States in that time period.

My god man, this is at the beginning of your source. You’re still completely missing my point in an effort to…I guess make it seem like child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church is a myth? Reread my previous comment and try to think about it again if you’re interested in trying to understand how what you’re saying here is totally off topic

  Yes only 4% vs teacher 5-7% and estimated at 10% for the general population.
  
  I’ll be more clear. Religious bigotry is a violation of rule 1 when it’s false. Don’t spread lies.

    I guess I have to reiterate: Child sexual abuse is perpetrated by people of many different backgrounds. Using a handful of perpetrators who identified as LGBTQ as an argument against all people who are LGBTQ is bigoted. Using a handful of religious leaders who are perpetrators of sexual abuse as an argument against all religion is bigoted. I’ve noticed you only seem to care about one of these, though…
