Sure, I also find it quite likely that powerful fossil fuel

Doesn't it? If it weren't true, then dirty tricks wouldn't be
needed to discredit it, would they? It could be discredited like
the flat earth, creationism, and cigarettes-are-good-for-you
theories.
If that was true, the world would be free from religious
superstition
So do you classify religion as a conspiracy? Do you think clergy
are really all atheists and are just conspiring to fool others?
I am pretty sure of this.
Do you think that a christian believer of the top would protect the
children molester, and this in a way making them continue the
misdoing for 20 years?
Yes, they might very well do that because they think that
maintaining the reputation of the church is essential to saving
souls from hell, which is obviously more important than some
transient earthly transgressions.
I doubt this. When you hide scandalous behavior, and makes it possible
to last a long time, you aggravate it a lot, and eventually, it is
more harmful for the institution's reputation, not talking of the
suffering of the victims. On the contrary, if they act morally and
immediately, they can help (a lot) the children *and* the reputation.
Hiding a scandal makes it worst, at all levels, for everybody,
especially for an institution based on moral.
