Is it time to ban church in the US?

In the last 3 weeks alone, 30 religious figures, mostly youth pastors, have been arrested for sex crimes involving children.
Since there is such a huge discourse around banning or restricting things to help protect children, (except guns of course) we should just ban church services outright, right? It is clear that the people who attend and lead them are the biggest threat to children in America (except guns of course).
You’d assume that republicans would be in favor of this ban, but they are more interested in projecting their own tendencies onto drag queens and lgbt people.

I agree with you, it’s even higher up here in Canada, priests being identified (hopefully charged) as child sex abusers, so disgusting! I wish we had the death penalty up here.

@Jeephikelove are you going to ban education because some teachers lure pupils ?

@revenant that’s slightly different religion is not needed, education is, but I see your point. There needs to be stiffer punishments for crimes against children, it’s beyond sick.

@Jeephikelove religion will always be needed. If you do not need it it is up to you. Most of people on here who are against religion applaud all kind of New Age gurus and it is certainly known by now the abuse which goes on in some cults.

It is not up to you to decide what other people should think and do.

Abusers will take on all kinds of mantels anyway.

@Emosaur so you say. Good luck in revering some communist leader and prostrating yourself in front of his portrait.

@revenant Religion is not needed, and the rest of your response makes no sense and has nothing to do with the reason for this suggestion. Are you saying you condone raping children????

@Jeephikelove do not twist my words and read again what you wrote.

I think I am being clear enough and do not need to have false words put into my mouth.
