This probably played a subtle part which many people don't realize as the connection was never explicitly pushed in the media. When that pedo was caught and hanged himself those who associated with him thought its best not to have too much public attention.

The other big part as many have pointed out is that the biggest thing that 'won' out in the end was simple apathy. A massive apathy driven by consumerism, short term pleasure seeking (e.g. social media driven algorithms), various social movements consuming the political oxygen and overtook 'public debate' (see: SJWs, wokeism, BLM etc). The West (and societies which increasingly adopt the Western modern lifestyle) as spiritually dead and are suffering the consequences by shattering one of the great glues that held communities and societies together since the dawn of social structure. Whether you actually believe in a relgion or God is irrelevant for most - it was the tradition and spiritual fulfillment (no matter how shallow - that was of value. Now all gone and apathy, pessimism, and hedonistic consumerism rules.
