I get what you are saying and it is in line with Christianity, we all have an innate drive to not be evil. I think Paul mentions that? I'm far from having a decent understanding of the Bible.
However, we're living in times were pedophilia is close to become accepted in society.
My argument is that if one wants to rape he will rape, there is no reason to not rape. In some cases, Christianity would not help either simply because they will ignore it, but in most cases fear of eternal damnation is a strong motivator to not rape.
Not sure if true or not but "internet lore" was saying that Tolkien took inspiration from South Africa when he created Orcs. There he witness natives just pull women and rape them on the street and then go about their day.
Having an internal moral compass that says rape is bad is good but it has no consequence if you don't follow it, eternal fire is an added level of security that is useful.
A more interesting case, for me, is the Catholic priests that raped little boys. How did they justify it to themselves as Christians? Or similarly, we see gang members that sometimes have crosses around their necks, do they consider themselves Christian?
Some priests are almost certainly sincerely believing Catholics. Others just wanted unsupervised access to children and abused the trust of the institution to get it.
It was not little girls that were molested. My theory is that Catholics allowed to many gays inside the church, they thought they helped them but in turn it corrupted the church. Not saying all of them but clearly a good percentage of them did not have a vocation towards Christ but did it out of necessity.
