    I guess they get singled out because the church did it “better” than anyone else did. The numbers of kids who were raped is staggering, in some places over a percent of the children were of the total population.

      Then give the victims voice and credit for being the ones who spoke up, because religious institutions existed before Christianity. Go see what the old testament says makes rape of kids ok, eg.

        Yeah other religions dabbled in horror but Christianity was the GOAT. You don’t rule 5.5 out of the 6 habitable continents by being nice, you do it by making sure everyone who disagrees is murdered.
