Nobody said they were ALL pederasts. But you keep insisting that people
are atheists MAINLY so they can do sexual things you disapprove of (many of
which most people, religious or not, would not find necessarily
objectionable), but avoid the fact that being Catholic does not prevent
sexual behavior you don't approve of by Catholics (at least one or two in
your list by most!) nevermind the relatively high percentage of pedophillic
behavior (which nearly EVERYBODY, religious or not finds immoral) by, of
all people, Catholic priests. So not only does your argument for the
reason people become atheists fall completely apart but you fail to explain
why being Catholic doesn't prevent such perverted behavior!
