I thought that was any religious institution in the US and abroad! Nice to know that Christian priests and conservatives don't have monopoly on abusing children. /s
It seems all the pedos in the world are either connected by religion, being war criminals and genociders (Israel), or simply rich (Trump/Clinton/Epstein).
Or maybe no conclusions can be drawn without per-capita offense rates. Of course it's interesting that there are not many articles about sex offenders fleeing to other countries, especially since Israel has such a small population.
A study limited to organized religious institutions, in a country where, of all religions, Christians are the overwhelming majority, found that most of the abuse occurred in Christian institutions? What a shock. It even omits how many of the respondents were from which religion (despite including such a breakdown for respondent age), so we can't work out per-capita numbers.
But despite trying very hard to work backwards from a conclusion, the study is not entirely useless - it contains two pieces of actual information: it reported that 0.4% were sexually abused by an adult or leader in a religious institution, and that boys were 8x more likely to be abused than girls.
So we can conclude that children are 10x more likely to be abused by a public school teacher [1], and that homosexuals are 8x more likely to abuse than heterosexuals.
Nah, the study shows there is a reason there is a whole wiki page for all the cases of abuse by the church. It's an epidemic, enough to see a correlation and stereotype that priests are the most likely offender. It's even in pop culture, when you think of a child abuser, who do you think of: a priest, right?
I wanna dig into studies about conservatives which also are major child abusers. Maybe the people with a conservative faith and a conservative political stance have a big overlap, there must be studies for that. I will do the research and get back to you.
