Website title:

"It's an economy in which genuine religious values will never really rise to the top, so long as they're tied to the poisonous priorities that elevate status and power over the basic human needs of the most vulnerable among us."

...."genuine religious values" has to be defined. What is the best anyone can hope for from any religion earth? That it will teach kindness and respect for life and other people. You don't need a religion to teach that...and of course there are plenty of non-religious people who rape children...so what's really at work here?

...while it may not be religion which teaches or can't stop child-rape...it has one advantage over the non-religious child-rapist. The religious rapist has a god he can turn to, basically an "enabler" who will forgive and smile and pat himself on the back because one of his "stray sheep" has come back to the fold....until the next time...and the next.

...when you have a God watching your back and cleaning up the blood, you're pretty much safe.

..this is a mighty consolation and guilt-laundering device. After raping a child the religious one can get an added high by "abasing himself before the Lord"....and begging forgiveness. Must be a good feeling when you can wash that kind of filth from your soul each Sunday, or in the privacy of your talks with god....the regular scum has no such recourse...he is left with the filth and has to live with it as best he can....most likely through denial and booze....the religious one gets the satisfaction of getting even closer to the Maker of the Universe, after each and every rape.

..religion is powerful because it is a mask, the best Front ever discovered to do your dirty deeds behind. If god can forgive you...well, what else IS there?

...so long as the police don't catch you.....and even then you can move thousands by weeping and wailing and begging forgiveness.
