I am targeting people who think that atheists have little or no moral value - on average. I have some opinions about religion and spirituality section and online - it seems that many (not all) people with a religious affiliation that the lack of faith in God, atheists (N) believe that lack of moral values.
At the beginning and before reading the rest of the question, please answer the following questions:

I'm really not part of their target audience, as you know, but I want to put a word here.
Should probably also the proportion of atheists in the U.S. because there are atheists in the minority, so are less likely to contribute to their prison populations will. But I'm sure there are more than 0.21% of people who identify themselves as atheist and Statistics main point in the United States remains valid.
Personally, I think these statistics have more to do with the general acceptance of the religion of the parents that the morale of a group. The average family has accepted an average child of religion and that religion as your own, without thinking much about it. I know that most atheists are born into the religion and became atheists just AFTER as important in this context. In general, willing, thinking too much into the matter, as anyone who has little direct relevance, are smarter than the average () in the rule.
Therefore, it would be better to link the intelligence with the prison. I think most intelligent people tend to look to others around them and it would be more moral than the average, but it could be that intelligent people do not get caught, or in any activities break the law first. For example, to mislead an intelligent director could be millions of people their hard earned money, and never the prison.
And, of course, education plays an important role. I think an important role in deciding whether or notsomeone as a criminal than any other factor.
I totally agree that atheists as moral as Christians, and have the same moral standards, if not more (because they ask the responsibility for everything they do, instead of taking one God for forgiveness)
However, there is something wrong with these statistics. Many of the prisoners are converts to Christianity (or any other religion, culture, especially Christianity in the United States), while the interior, because life in prison. They think in the end, they need a God to face.
Well, I'm an atheist, and by most standards, I have little or no morals.
Sorry. But I'm sorry.
And of course, the people were in prison charged with a crime. His statistics might simply show that atheists are criminals avoid capture teachers.
I'll play Devils Advocate with you, just because of the discussion.
Statistics prisons are a reflection of human groups. Most inmates are often of hard training and his philosophy of life is interrupted vitiated by many.
the reason that the largest% Catholics, because they are the world's largest religion. The same rule applies to 2% of the rest of his greatness religion. not because it is worse than the other. I am Catholic and proud of it. god bless u.
As an atheist, I do not think, just give us one of the arguments to be moral. However, I believe these statistics do not measure the atheists at the top, because there are far fewer of us there. I estimate that the proportion of people who are smart criminal record, we're all the same.
I agree that atheists not only immoral, because they believe in a deity.
But I want to emphasize that atheists are the minority from the outset, it is normal to make up the minority in the prisons as well.
I do not think atheists have no morals, but there is already a much higher percentage of theists in this country, no doubt there were more of them are in a prison system.
I can honestly say that every Atheist I met are very moral, law-abiding citizens. The people who think they are so religious that are cruel and horrible. I think they feel that their faith justifies you are forgiven.
