I don't think that focussing on sex alone will support your argument TEGH. A strong part of it but; I think it could be that the whole of the "religious, draconian ethics" is a contributing factor. The "promise to God not to do it again and then repeat it the next day, and then confess their sin...so on and so forth. get out of jail free card that religion supplies after inculcating the guilt of just being human; I feel is what you are alluding to and using to support your argument about the sexual aspect of it.
I have read an article where paedophile priests see no harm in what they are doing as they are not going against their doctrine and have the added advantage of the get out of jail free card to rely on.
So yes on the whole I would agree with you that religion IS harmful overall including sexual desires.
