We like to pick on Christian child abuse in the church, but the truth is that crime not only exists outside the church, but in every nation as a ratio. NO, it does not excuse religion allowing the crime to hide behind religion, just to say that the crime is an unfortunate part of reality, like tornados and vocanos.
Child rape and even adult rape is about power and control, titles can be any title of power, parent, coach, preacher, Rabbi, uncle, baby sitter, teacher ect ect ect. But sex abuse is worldwide unfortunately. China and India don't report sex abuse as widely as the west does. It is easy to single out what is local, but the crime is a matter of human psychology in that the perp is trying to fill their own selfish ego by using their power over another human.
