I'm an atheist and I particularly struggle with the church, all theistic religions, really, because of the suffering they cause so many children. Far too many children (ie., people under 18) are choosing to end their lives rather than come out to their religious parents.

Is there any possible justification for the continued existence of theistic religions when it leads to the deaths of children? Is there any good the church does that's worth costing children's lives that couldn't be done by secular organizations instead?
