Now, flip that question and recognize that you're bias
The FBI gave the standard profile of a serial killer, He is a person with few friends. He became much more religious just before he started murdering people. After reading all the available studies I could find and studying all the articles in the newspapers for over 30 years, I find what is most outstanding is Serial killers were sexually inhibited by their strong religious upbringing.
Nearly all serial killers are very devout men who were raised by members of Pentecostal sects, fundamentalist Catholics or were 'hard-shell' Baptists and Methodists."
Studies after study show serial killers are a product of this environment, not genetics.

That is incorrect. The FBI has never released such a profile. This is the description of a "missionary" serial killer.
Try again.

Serial killers have a cog loose in their brains. They could just as easily be reading The Cat in the Hat and find a way to justify their actions based on Dr. Seuss.
Those studies are aimed at coming to that conclusion.

I answered this before, plus, I must point out that Aethist/Agnstiscs are a very small portion of the world population and people often overstate the spritual good of others. Very devout...

Sad isn't it that those churches are allowed to still destroy children with their lies. I'll take a middle of the road Anglican or Presbyterian church any day. What's scary is that those same churches now have their own private schools so they can torture the kids even more.

Thats why atheism is the way to go....we dont have a reason to kill or want to kill...we just enjoy our small shred of time! While religious people think they have life after life, so they throw it away doing selfish things!

That IS true, but has nothing to do with God. You can blame that on organized religion.
