A first look at the rate of religiosity in a country and its crime rate, those bible thumpers are not going to like this at all.
“the United States is the only prosperous first world nation to retain rates of religiosity otherwise limited to the second and third worlds” and “the U.S. is the only prosperous democracy that retains high homicide rates,”
Also “A few hundred years ago rates of homicide were astronomical in Christian Europe and the American colonies. In all secular developing democracies a centuries long-term trend has seen homicide rates drop to historical lows”
And on the sex front “The two main curable STDs have been nearly eliminated in strongly secular Scandinavia” wheras in USA “rates of adolescent gonorrhea infection remain six to three hundred times higher”

HE ISN'T GOING TO WASTE HIS TIME ON TRYING TO PULL THE WOOL OVER YOUR EYES IF YOU ALREADY BELONG TO HIM… HE IS WORKING HARD HERE IN THE U.S. BECAUSE HE IS RUNNING OUT OF TIME. DO YOU THINK THE CRIME RATES COULD BE LINKED TO SPIRITUAL WARFARE? I DO AND I AM LIVING PROOF OF IT. ONCE TROUBLED..NOW…REDEEMED
