Actually, no. Statistically, it is much more likely that he's a Christian. Christians make up about 75% of the US population and 75% of the US prison population. No big surprise there.
Atheists, on the other hand, make up about 10% of the US population... but they make up only 0.2% of the US prison population. Now, isn't THAT a surprise? That means that atheists are FIFTY (50) times LESS LIKELY to be incarcerated than Christians. Pretty strange, huh, for a group that has no god-given guiding moral principals?
I can think of only two possibilities that might reasonably be said to account for this discrepancy:
1. Atheists are of a higher ethical and moral caliber than Christians, and thus are less prone to do the same kinds of nasty things that land so many Christians in the slammer;
OR,
2. Atheists are, overall, a lot smarter than Christians and thus, they are less likely to get caught in the course of their transgressions.
It's GOT to be one or the other... take your pick.

Statistically, no. He's probably a nominal Christian who never cracked a Bible open since childhood, if then. People like that don't even consider the questions about Life. Every single person on this site is better than him.

No, many of the troubled souls on this earth really know the truth in thier hearts but are not seeking to live by it.
For them the Word of God being preached is like seed falling on rocky soil or among thorns depending on the case.

No. But it's pretty safe to assume he wasn't thinking WWJD when he mugged your brother.

I think it is safe to assume he was a crackhead.

Could've been a backsliding Baptist. Been there, done that. Keeping the faith requires some perseverance, not something every church-goer does.

Nope, he was obviously a person who's not saved or is in a backslidden condition. It doesn't mean that he was totally against the idea of there being a God.

No, but it may be safe to assume that he was brought up in the Christian religion....
Peace.
