The godless commit less crime, have longer marriages and are more highly educated than almost any other group in America.

The godless commit less crime, have longer marriages and are more highly educated than almost any other group in America.

According to Federal Bureau of Prisons data, the number of responding people in prison acknowledging they were Catholic was 39 percent; Protestant, 35 percent; Muslim, 7 percent; Jewish, 2 percent; and godless, 0.2 percent (20 percent did not respond).
Since the number of godless is estimated to be 10 percent of the general population, all things being equal you would expect their prison population to be 10 percent.

If, as many people assume, the godless do not lead moral lives, you would expect the number to be greater than 10 percent. The fact that the actual number is 50 times less than expected can lead to only one of two conclusions: either the godless commit less crime than the religious or they’re too smart to get caught very often.

According to a Barna Research Group report, fundamentalist Christians have the highest divorce rate, followed by Jews and Baptists. The godless are tied with Catholics and Lutherans for the lowest divorce rate. It seems that some groups that claim to follow the Bible most strictly are not putting their money where their mouths are. The godless who are thought to be without morals seem to take their vows more seriously.

According to a Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life Survey, the least-educated Americans are Jehovah’s Witnesses, followed by black Protestants and fundamentalist Christians. The most highly educated are reformed Jews, followed by Unitarian Universalists and the godless.
Some groups seem to like their flocks ignorant so that pastors’ interpretations of God’s edicts are not questioned. Other groups prize scholarship and achieve more in their lives here on Earth.

In fact, a review of worldwide studies found that criminality and religion go hand in hand. The countries with the most religious people have the highest crime rates, highest sexually transmitted diseases and the highest teen pregnancy rates.

This is also true in the United States. The more religious a state’s population, the higher the crime, STD and teen pregnancy rates. The report does say that the religious are happier than the secular but posits that the ostracism of the latter may be a major cause.
So what conclusion can be reached? It is obvious that you do not have to believe in a higher power in order to live a moral and successful life. Quite the opposite.

I won’t attempt to claim a correlation of religion with crime, infidelity and ignorance. However, it is total hypocrisy for those in such groups to claim that the godless are not and cannot be moral. Yet in a recent study atheists were believed to be no more trustworthy than rapists.
In spite of this easily obtained information, the groups with the highest crime rate, the poorest marriages and the lowest education continually strive to force their beliefs on the nonreligious. And the politicians pander to them. Why else would they pass laws to put religion in the schools and on courthouse facades? And then they wonder why the godless could possibly be upset.

  2. But also the godless are behind the eradication of unborn babies a crime that is not recognized by the state. Killing a million babies yearly is not a good trait of the godless.

    2. That is cause athiests are asexual for the most part. No sex equals low abortion rate.

  3. That's a bogus line that's sold to folks, just like the other demonization of atheists. I know more Christians who support abortion than I do Atheists. That's a personal moral issue that is NOT defined by religion, any more than any other issue.

    Try to fight your programming.

  4. One should never blind oneself to seeing evil as evil. There is no justification for evil, except evil itself. Avoid pretending superiority as none are perfect. A Christian is one with a spirit filled relationship with Christ, not an organized religion. None who claim Christ as their Lord & savior support murder. The enemy is everywhere and if you take this article at face value, you're in his camp. Pray for the light to reveal to you the darkness in this article...or don't. Everyone must make their own choice.

  5. Well that is cause prison puts the fear of the lord into everyone. I bet most were godless before they went in. Plus, atheists are highly educated and therefore most are either corporate criminals or government goons. But since corporations and governments are above the law, well then athiests are not the biggest criminals out there.
