Sadly people with these despicable tendencies are attracted to religions. They work towards positions of authority and trust, and then abuse these 'powers' to do the deeds and keep them hidden.
Jehovah's Witnesses is a prime example of this: Where respected(filled with holy spirit) individuals abuse their positions of trust. Sites like silentlambsdotorg contain countless examples of this.
Part of the reason I left that cult was because of the way they handled child abuse. In many cases they would not even take an offender to the authorities- because it would bring dishonor to Jehovah's name (no joke). And the offender could continue as a member by showing remorse. Sickening really. And don't get me started on their two witness rule, look it up if you want, its unbelievable.
So saying religion is the moral high ground in these cases is unwarranted and counter to fact. And the no true Scotsman fallacy is no escape from this reality.
I can't remember the document listing pedophilia rates by groups, but the Jehovah Witness have the highest rate of pedophilia.
And to add, it is the religious that has the highest rates of sexual deviance and pornography.

LOL. And thanks to their guilt-ridden delusions, they can't even enjoy their furtive pleasures. Serves them right!

And all they need do is confess to the Magic Lich Virgin and be forgiven...

According to the Jewish Babylnian Talmud baby-raping is OK and rabbis can do no wrong so maybe that explains their behavior =
