It's not exactly obvious though. If religious people were better citizens, then they would make up a lower percent of prison population.
It's all about proportions.
Men make up roughly 50% of the population, but about 92% of the prison population. Are you saying you can't draw conclusions from that? I don't see how you can't connect the whole proportional thing. If religious people were 'better' then they'd have a disproportionately lower number of inmates as compared to the general population.
You clearly didn't read what I wrote - I'm arguing against the idea that religion has any effect on being a better person. We're agreeing. Please go back and read my comment.
