It’s similar almost to priest being the most common pedos.

Pedos tend to aggregate around any job that will give them trusted or unrestricted access to children. The suppression you're talking about in this case isn't just from religion, but permeates all of society. Like, they can't even hypothetically leave the church and move somewhere more liberal where their desire for kid fucking isn't being suppressed. At least not until the weird libertarian crypto-bros who oppose age of consent manage to create such a place.
