no I'm saying that atheists don't commit crimes, I just wonder why so many religious people do.

I never heard of him, and I'm up to date on "real" evangelist. Your link goes to an anti-Christian hate site. I don't trust them. However your accusation could well be true. I attempted to do a quick search on Dr Paul and did not get much useful information. From what I can gather so far-I suspect that he is a Charismatic like Ted Haggard, Jimmy Swaggart, Benny Hinn, Paul Crouch and so on. If this is true, then I don't doubt the story.

Not saying it is or isn't religion that is causing these problems, but have you thought that maybe it is a mean, ugly, nasty, disgusting, sick individual, who is using religion to do what he wants to do.
Many evangelists and so on, use religion to to bad things. Most are getting rich off the people that listen to them. I don't think it is the "religion" itself, but the "people", "person". You can't blame religion or non-religion for bad people. Just like you can't blame music or television for a murderer. Those people CHOSE to do wrong, and don't want to take the responsibility for their actions, so they BLAME, religion, TV, radio, other people, etc.
Please, don't generalize - admit that these people choose their actions and USE other things to their own purpose.
***Whoa, hold on buddy - Athiest do commit crimes!!! Try re-reading your history! People are people, and there are good ones and bad ones, no matter what belief they are.
Again, I say - let's try to educate ourselves better, maybe we wouldn't be calling each other names and bashing each other.
And don't accuse me of being christian either!! Because you don't know for sure do you?

Cause you think non-believers don`t molest, abuse lewd and do lascivious acts?
John Wayne Gacey: Serial killer (atheist)
Jeff Dahmer: Killer (atheist)
Robert Pickton : Serial killer 49 women he fed is pigs (atheist)
and more criminal atheist on website: www.morbidfactdujour.com
Here is the reason why it seams that more religious people comit crimes.....only 16% of the planets are atheist the remaining are religious (any kind, from christians to buddhist) of course when comparing one to the other, you have to break it down to a common denominator.

Wicked people hide behind Christianity and anything else that conceals their sins. It happens in educational institutions, corporations, and in our govenment body.
Blame it on the sinner.
Careful, your sins will find you out.

I do not think this is evidence of anything that religion causes, but perhaps that religion (at least his religion) was powerless to prevent.

Religion does not cause one to be a pedophile.
