Seems to be some ifs, ands and buts on this topic.
Could it simply be that those who identify themselves as atheists, compared to non religious or non believer or whatever non belief title one may label one's self with tend to be a little better educated, making more money and having more leisure time to gain "self-awareness." It's hard to imagine someone busting their butts with a couple of jobs having the energy or the desire to decide what their religious affiliation or non affiliation may be. Further with more education and an implied better job with salary that the need for crime as a survival tool isn't present?

The world is a dangerous place to live - not because of the people who are evil but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
