Religion and Morality: 43% of young men who never go to church have a criminal record. Who knew?
0 comments Posted by kotang at 9:30 AMFrom an independent statistician-blogger, an interesting dataset that confirms what is obvious to anyone not blinded by a hatred of religion (the Leftist/Liberal/Democrats, those hedonistic and narcissistic sorts who would answer to no one for their actions but would mock and scorn those who do have innate religion-inspired moral values):
Know this: religion is a determinant for better-behaved people. And, classier.

For men, 43% of those who never go to church have been arrested, while only 13% of the most frequent attenders have. The corresponding percentages for females is 14% and 8%.Check out the data. But this stuff is obvious, really. Sure, there's some exceptional cases that religion and Christian bashers love to bring up, but those are just that: exceptions to the rule.
Religiosity seems to differentiate young men more than women, so there are at least two explanations available. Women might naturally behave better and thus benefit less from religion. Or there might be a self-selection effect going on here where men who attend religious services often are an especially moral bunch among men, while religious women are not as different from their non-religious counterparts.
Whatever be the case, it makes more sense for a woman to find a boyfriend at church than for a man to find a girlfriend. A guy who is always AWOL from church has almost a 50/50 chance of having a record. By contrast, only one out of seven girls who never goes has been arrested.

HA! So much for the Revolution. But I'm sure Ron Paul was well-paid for his efforts.
