>CH>  O'course. How come we never read of crimes
>CH> commited by non-church goin' atheists? hmmm. 

SK> U.S. Christians simply LOVE to state that
SK> there are only 4% Atheists/Agnostics in the U.S.

By actual count, it was 14.1% in the year 2001.
Christians made up 76.46% and the other cults made
up 3.72% of the American adult population.

SK> But we have the largest prison population
SK> of any civilized country! This from a religious
SK> country? Do tell!

The atheist population in USA prisons was 0.21%
(less than one per cent) in the year 1997. Over
80% of the prison population is made of Christians:
the rest are members of other cults.

SK>  We have more people imprisoned per capita
SK> than ANY OTHER country. More even than the
SK> "atheist/commie" countries.  

That is because it is a very lucrative business.

SK> Seems all those Christians can't behave
SK> themselves. ;) 

Mostly Catholics (39%) and Protestants (35%).
