You could see the pain on his face in yesterday's episode, he was very upset and looked deflated when Billy said he knew it wasn't Sean. I think he knows Billy will find out soon and it's heading for a break up and he can't stop it. You could see it even during the breakfast. His mind was clearly somewhere else, he looked to be in thinking mode when Billy came from behind to kiss him. I bet he knows he messed up, but it's too late to do anything about it now.
Anyway.. my point is just, Todd is genuine about Billy. I do believe him when he says he loves him. What he did, although wrong, proves he loves him, because he'd do anything to be with Billy, to live with him. Yeah, he did it because he hates the church too, and didn't want Billy to face the bigotry and discrimination from the church. So in his mind he probably though it was a selfless thing he did.
