'Adultery' is entering into a consensual sexual relationship with someone other than your husband/wife.
Rape is non-consensual. The victim does not choose to have sex...they are forced. That is not adultery, no matter what some cultural groups say.

No- adultery is a conscious choice by a person already in a commited marriage to engage in sexual relations with another consenting adult.

Jesus said that if a man so much as LOOKS upon a woman with lust, he has committed adultery with her in his heart. "So God considers women the property of men like the culture back then did?" ...an ATHEIST said that? Why would you pose that question to Christians as if that's the kind of belief we champion?

Of course not!
Though in biblical terms, the rapist committed adultery.

ABSOLUTELY NOT- the rape was not consensual, the act was done against that person's will. Rape is not an act of sex, really it is an act of violence.

Deuteronomy 22:22."If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;"
Deuteronomy 22:24."Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you."

No, but if they are the one doing it, I suppose you could say they're doing both.

No--they were forced.
