Why do majority christian and catholic countries have the highest crime rates and majority atheist/agnostic countries have the world lowest crime and moral issue rate?

Three quarters of the American population literally believe in religious miracles. The numbers who believe in the devil, in resurrection, in God doing this and that -- it's astonishing. These numbers aren't duplicated anywhere else in the industrial world. You'd have to maybe go to mosques in Iran or do a poll among old ladies in Sicily to get numbers like this. Yet this is the American population.
- Noam Chomsky

There is a strong correlation between religion and moral decadence and high crime rates.

Crime: Murder
41. Czech Republic 0.01 per 1000 people
19. Poland 0.05 per 1000 people
23. United States 0.04 per 1000 people

Crime: Rape
40. Czech Republic 0.04 per 1000 people
29. Poland 0.06 per 1000 people
9. United States 0.30 per 1000 people

I was reading the story about the English Couple who live in a motel and didn't know what the word Post means.
They return every 2weeks (fortnight) to collect the post.
What does Post Mean?

I quote this from another answerer on Y!:

"The reason why the world is getting so bad is because more and more people are rejecting God. If people would do their best to follow the 10 commandments, pray, and embrace the teachings of Jesus Christ, this world would be a much better place to live. If people believed in heaven and hell they would do everything they could to get to heaven and avoid hell"

Seems to me since 90% of all people that have ever lived have been religious, and since the war on terror is the direct result of Christian and Jewish ideologies at odds with Islam this statement is not only completely wrong, but in fact the kind of opinion that only ADDS to the problems of the world.

It’s like saying if everyone just became more Islamic, Christian, and Jewish fundamentalists everything would be OK...your thoughts?
sorry but this just seems like the most ridiculous statement ive seen on Y! in more than a week so i thought i would share.

I'm 16 years old. I don't really believe in god,though sometimes i wish i could. Over the years I have said bad stuff about god.. but when i said it im not sure i meant it...and i do regret it. I feel like I'm going to hell anyway...so why should i try to fix it? I've said hateful stuff about him... and not even tried to imagine there being a god..because i figured it was better that way..then to have to live with knowing i was going to hell

Whatever you believe in is what is right. Like, everybodies religion, whether you believe in God(s) or not.

For example, once you die, if you believe there is a heaven, you will go there, if you believe in reincarnation that will happen to you. If you think you will die and thats it, your dead, that is what shall happen to you.

Do you think this could or work, or is there only ever one religion that is right? What is your opinion?

The instructor at a university training on racism said that white people are the privileged race, in power, and oppressive of other races and the reason why people of color have a hard time dealing with or accepting white people without resentment is because they feel they are being oppressed. If you are of color please tell me if you agree that white people are privileged as a race, and if so, is it a source of anger that you, as a race are being oppressed. Also, if you are of color, what is it that a white person or community can do to help relieve the anger or end the oppression? If you are white, do you feel that being white has enabled you to receive benefits over non-whites? Do you feel resented by people of color? And do you have any experiences with what works to help improve your relationships with people of color?

If anyone would like to help me better understand, because I seem to be culturally ignorant, I'd appreciate one to one email discussion.

What will you do in heaven? Don't tell me to just be with God that's not what the Bible says, How can you say, you are going to heaven but not know what you will do there? The answer is in the Bible there is a purpose for which some people (yeah not everybody good)will go to heaven, what is this purpose?
