If every kid had at least one good, able parent, no country would need half of what they do in schools. But do remember that, far and away, the most likely sexual predators are a child's immediate family. And other parents are simply incompetent to teach their children anything, sad to say. Sometimes, you can't just flat out trust people simply because they're parents.

But, teachers are immune from being sexual predators? Have you seen the news lately? It seems that non-family members are more likely to commit crimes against family members. See: Bureau of Justice Statistics -- Family Violence

I really have no idea where you pulled the 0.5% of Christians number, but it's incorrect. Evangelicals make up about 25% of the population of the US, which makes them more like 30% of the Christians. Add in all "born again" Christians, and you're up over 50%. Evangelicals are than enough to account for the 15%. They are also, not so coincidentally, a majority in most of the deep southern states, an area Mitt Romney desperately needs to swing if he's going to win the primary.

American Religious Identification Survey -- I would guess that whoever has cited your statistics has done so for their own purposes. Judge the accuracy for yourself, but it reflects what I've seen and experienced.

...the historical impetus for abstinence education has come from evangelical or born-again Christians.

Which totally omits the strong stand that the Catholic Church has for abstinence education. The more we dissect that NPR article, the more I see just how biased they are against that small Evangelical minority. I'm sorry I linked it now. :D
