My first instinct is to say no. People with whatever religion are just as much douchebags with religion as they are without.
I could be wrong, though, atheists are quite underrepreseted, apparently, in prison than virtually all other faiths...
So the answer I suppose is either "no" or "religion actually makes you more apt to do criminal things."
I suppose that is true DarkAngel. You don't think that religion doesn't have the tinest bit of influence on people at all? I know atheist are more open minded but we can be bastards as well, when we want to be. I don't know I always think that religion could have a impact on the person because look at the fanatics and religious assholes today. I guess it could depened on the person.
