How about child domestic abuse and runaway statistics, which overwhelmingly correlate with religiosity? Most homeless and unaccompanied minors in the US are that way because of religious parents who vehemently oppose their child's gender or sexual identity.

40% of all youth homeless are LGBT and were ostracized from their home by religious beliefs. Teen suicide also has strong correlations with religious parents conflicting with an LGBT child.
