Not from what Ive seen here on this very thread.
When we were discussing the sex abuse scandal many pages back, numerous members of this forum specifically said that it's worse when priests do it because they are "supposed to be men of god."
This was addressed by multiple atheists in this site on this very thread.
Actually, no; what we've objected to is that priests themselves claim to have the ultimate moral authority. I would venture a guess that no atheists think that priests actually possess that.
