You seem to be rambling..my initial objection was to your implication that all Catholics/priests are paedophiles. So to clarify, correct me if i'm wrong so we can just wrap this up.
1.You think its perfectly acceptable to accuse a group of people of a crime or imply an involvement if any of their members commit that crime. That is perfectly logical thinking to you?
2.Are you trying to say that atheists are somehow morally superior/better people? as shown by prison statistics?
Rambling is something I do. I see possibilities for other avenues of related discussion and I will open them. Better to be debate in-depth than just to scratch the surface...after all, nothing is so simple. But yes, to wrap this:
1: When did I say I would specifically imply involvement of other individuals in the crime of another? I did not. I stated, rather, that Christians are the ones who tend to do it more often, yet are the ones who claim themselves the moral paragons. Did nobody else see that??
2: Yes. By prison statistics and arrest rates, compared with or independent of population densities and consensus. I know, you're a theist; cold logic is scary and something you must outright deny to the last breath, but even you can't deny the numbers don't lie.

Uh. Law enforcement. Law and "morals" kind of go hand-in-hand.
