Does going to church make people more honest?

Question

Are chuirchgoers less likely to cheat in business and personal matters, even when dealing with those who do not go to their church?

Answer 1

Nah

Answer 2

To dress up once a week and exchange insincere pleasantries does not make one more honest.

On the contrary makes them less.

Of course if you do something once a week you get better at it so my guess is that they would be more likely to cheat in business and personal matters.

Answer 3

I'm from Chicago.

Al Capone was from Chicago and the Cardinal of Chicago preached his funeral calling him a good Catholic who never missed attending Mass each Sunday.

Does that answer your question?

Answer 4

Alot of ppl attend church bcause its a habit and its something to hide behind(look at all of the priest that are child molesters).

Answer 5

Not at all. In fact, when it comes to people like Ted Haggard, Ken Ham, Kent Hovind, ext. I'd almost say that it makes people LESS honest.

Actually it makes them more dishonest. Just one more day of the week where they have to walk around being fake in front of people.
