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.

It's the perfect creep hideout. Where every leader is holier than thou while pointing fingers at others.

Most kids are forced to join services too when they can do any other activity that is more child appropriate.

I'd say forbid kids from churches and only let adults attend.

Because it means a lot to go to services for many people. Especially those who are older and alone. It's a community and a support for many.

But kids shouldn't go there for support since the risk of sexual abuse is so high.
