An excellent article in the Daily Mash, slightly related to the recent stories of child abuse in Irish catholic schools, that does a very good job of painting religion as the form of abuse.

It's a case of getting the worst people one can find to take care of children and putting them in charge. Think about it, nuns and priests are people that don't like children.
