The ratio of believers to non believers is most likely similar in jail and out.
Faith in selfless Unity for Good.
I'm pretty sure that most people who go to jail profess to be religious as part of their getting out strategy. Also, more religious people go to jail in the first place because it turns out believing in objective values just isn't a very good path to being a moral person. (I made the second one up for larks but I'm actually supposing the first is true.)
