Perverts are often attracted to positions of religious authority due to a couple of reasons. First, it provides a front for them, due to their facade of being a pious person. Second, it gives them power over their victims. There is almost no better place for a sicko to hide than behind a veil of piousness and religious authority.
Some of the best people I have met appear to be outwardly secular, but are deeply spiritual, whether they are Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim or what ever, si I don;t think you can blame religion as a philosophy. Religious institutions on the other hand, they are fair game when they allow these things to fester.
