The under represented Atheist prison population claim.
#2
RE: The under represented Atheist prison population claim.

Very well written and thought out post!

Personally I'm always very wary of statistics, however this is not the first time I’ve seen the correlation drawn between atheism and prison population.

It seems that this is the case the world over (I’ve seen similar reports from a number of EU countries and the US).
So the question this raises to me is why is this the case? Why does it seem that a lower percentage of atheists wind up in jail?

Most curious.
