It seems to me that a Christian is just as likely to lie his way out of a difficult situation as anyone else, blaming it on "imperfection." And your average non-believer seems no more likely to brutally beat up an old lady than your average Christian, even if he thought he might get away with it. I am thinking that for many crimes (and for many "crimes") the likelihood that one or the other will commit it is not that different. The main difference would be in the justifications afterwards.
The other difference would be that, where an atheist actually has to feel bad and make amends to the person they've actually wronged, a christian just has to talk to themselves for a few minutes and, lo and behold, how very convenient, they've been forgiven by god! How can you, lowly human that has been wronged, still be mad, when god himself has forgiven?
How do we know god has forgiven them? Why, they said so, of course!
It's a personal relationship, motherfuckers.
