To err is human. Athiests encourage Pedophilia as they do
not recognise any higher morality than their own `innate' predispositions.
Athiests may recognise the authority of the law but that is something that
may be influenced by witness's and rules of evidence.
If there is no harm there are no grounds for objection.

So, what you're saying is that without religion and the fear of divine
