Peter Singer is a respectable moral philosopher who honestly defended raping disabled people, his argument is based on utilitarian ideas. I respect him because he's courageous enough to handle the consequences of his atheism, and what the absence of religious morality leads to.

Come on, don't be a coward. Just breathe and say that out loud : Bestiality/child rape is arbitrary and defendable under atheism. I know that you, deep inside, would love to see bestiality legalized.

When was the last time you saw a headline that read, Man behaves immorally because of atheism?
I don't think news headlines are a good basis to make an argument. 99% of stuff we read about religious leaders doing bad stuff is complete hoax or exaggerations. And rumors like some religious leader commiting rape often have political motives to discredit him completely.
