it is fairly straightforward. Their town is extremely religious and thus a priest would be the pinnacle of social standing, and as a result wields considerable influence. It is an insightful remark on the abuse of power, comparing religion due to its prominence and position in peoples lives, in the wrong hands as having infinitely worse consequences than an out of control drunkard due to the scope of potential damage towards society and individuals.
Cheers.

Miss Maudie means that someone who uses religion to justify their harmful actions can be more damaging than someone who uses alcohol irresponsibly. It highlights the importance of not abusing religion for selfish or harmful purposes.

Also, some folks become very angry when their statements are not immediately accepted as facts by a listener.
" Trust me " is just too commonly used to be meaningful anymore.
