One reason why religion is a load of bollox.

Aye

The Catholic Church has covered up and provided cover for child abuse for hundreds of years

These safeguarding children departments are laughable , run by the pope

It's like giving a robber your credit card

Religion is archaic and based on fairy tales and fantasy

Science is progress and this is what should be fed to our children , not fake stories about making blind men see and disabled people suddenly being able to walk because the son of God blessed them 🙏

I don't disagree Sludge. The catholic church is implicit in 100's of years of cover up.

What I do see is some religious based organisations (not churches) doing some good work in this area. As an example, LWF in Uganda work in refugee communities (about 400000 people) and are one of the best organisations that help protect child, better in fact than some non-religious ones.
