Oh, now I know what you are talking about. I hope you understand that the Catholic church does not encourage or tolerate the abuse of children. I have no idea why so many priests are doing this but it is not what the church wants. (By the way I am not Catholic but I know this to be true) I am sure every religion, every profession, every school has members who are child abusers and nobody knows. For example if it is in the news that 10 doctors were found out to be child molesters, it does not mean ALL doctors hurt children. Nor does it mean that the medical profession encourages or tolerates this. Unfortunately bad people are everywhere. I am a Christian. There are a lot of Christians and probably some of them are child abusers. Probably some Muslims are child abusers. Probably some Hindus, Athiests, Buddhists, etc are child abusers and it just doesn't make the news or nobody finds out about it. Does this make sense to you?

There's no religion that I hate or like. To me, religion is just a guide for people to follow so that they can behave well, do good karma, become good human and etc. Sometimes, I think that religion actually doesn't exist at all. It is merely a creation by human so that we can live a better world.

Well, I tried. I am a christian. But now I don't think I wanna claimed that title. There's too much of bad things that happened in my life. I did pray, cried but what did He do?? Nothing. I am not against the teaching. It's just that I can't find my faith with Him.

Religion is a system of social coherence based on a common group of beliefs or attitudes concerning an object, person, unseen being, or system of thought considered to be supernatural, sacred, divine or highest truth, and the moral codes, practices, values, institutions, and rituals associated with such belief or system of thought. It is sometimes used interchangeably with "faith" or "belief system"[1], but is more socially defined than that of personal convictions.
The development of religion has taken many forms in various cultures. "Organized religion" generally refers to an organization of people supporting the exercise of some religion with a prescribed set of beliefs, often taking the form of a legal entity (see religion-supporting organization). Other religions believe in personal revelation and responsibility.Other models see religion as absolutely and unchangingly True. They contrast with both the first group of models (which held religion to be false), and the second group (which held religion to develop over time). Models which view a particular religion as absolutely true include the Jewish and Christian model which holds that God relates to humanity through covenants; that he established a covenant with all humanity at the time of Noah called the Noahide Laws, and that he established a covenant with Israel through the Ten Commandments, and also Jesus Christ did establish a covenant with the world through the New Testament. Exclusivist Models hold that one particular set of religious doctrines is the "One True Religion," and all others are false, so that the development of the True Religion is tied inexorably to one prophet or holy book. In this model, all other religions are seen as either distortions of the original truth or original fabrications resulting from either human ignorance or imagination, or a more devious influence, such as false prophets or the influence of another rival supernatural entity (such as Satan). The model of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is nuanced differently than either the progressively true model or the absolutely true model, in that its leaders have taught that foreordination included plans by God that prophets as well as other good men and women (for example, Muhammad, Confucius, John Wycliffe, William Tyndale, the Founding Fathers of the United States and Gandhi) would be inspired by God during the course of human history who would bring much light, truth and knowledge though not necessarily a fullness of truth to their particular societies.
