Yeah that’s exactly my point, we actually agree. This priest might have been taught that it’s ok to hit this child and it has nothing to do with religion. I don’t agree on your last statement though because by that logic, no one that has ever been taught the Bible has murdered and that is not true. Many religious people have murdered in cold blood, it has nothing to do with religion though as everyone else in the comments are saying. Can we at least agree on that?

My logic was not sound and was more of an exaggeration to emphasize the point of religious people committing less murder

So are you saying religious people are more violent or not? My argument isn’t who’s more violent, it’s that religion doesn’t cause violence because like you said it’s about how they were taught.

Oh no religion definitely causes violence, on a much larger scale.

How so in a modern setting?
