    Yet you don’t see how you generalising billions of people by the actions of a minuscule fraction of those.

    Religion doesn’t enable people to do these things. Bad people do and if it wasn’t religion it would be something else.

    How many teachers also molest children? Teaching isn’t something we should ban, so it isn’t the tool. It’s people that gravitate towards things that will get them access to children.

      True! Religion just makes it possible to control masses for the leaders. And a clearer consciousness for the bad actors. After all, how can it be bad if the speaker for the god himself told you it’s okay?

        Again. Without religion bad actors would rise up, because they’re bad and that’s just what it takes to rise up.

        Enough people are controlled in the west without religion, well I guess you could say capitalism is a religion for some.

          True. So we should allow violent pedophile cults to continue in the meantime? No progress at all, until we find the perfect solution? Which doesn’t exist, so just “no progress at all”?
