Think about this: Gangs, murderers, burglars, etc. etc. are almost always atheistic. You will basically never find a lifetime criminal who has a strong faith in God.

Yes, you are correct, you won't find them;-on the streets.
They are clogging our correctional system, though. The prisons are literally bursting with christians. Good place for them, actually. I wish we could fit them all behind bars.

Yeah, all atheists there....
I think you might want to reconsider that, in light of the evidence:
Percentages Based on a Recent Survey Among Prison Inmates Regarding Religious Preference: (Christian)
Catholic 29267 39.164%
Protestant 26162 35.008%
Rasta 1485 1.987%
Jewish 1325 1.773%
Church of Christ 1303 1.744%
Pentecostal 1093 1.463%
Jehovah Witness 665 0.890%
Adventist 621 0.831%
Orthodox 375 0.502%
Mormon 298 0.399%
Judeo-Christian Total 62594 83.761% (of the 74731 total responses) Total Known Responses 74731
Let's just round it up to 84% of those responding, proclaimed to be Christian of one stripe or another.

"He saved a lot of his victims"
No, no... He SERVED a lot of his victims... in delicious BBQ sauce
You may find an atheistic "lifetime criminal", but chances are pretty good he's a pothead, and only a "criminal" due to unjust laws.
And now I'm leaning even more towards Satanism.
*facepalm*
Where I live, most criminals, including practically all hitmen, are devout Roman Catholics.
Oh, right - those arent True Cristians.
Prison population of the USA by faith (2006 statistics)...
Christians 97.63%
Atheists 0.18%
Next bullshit "fact" please.
Oh BTW, the same proportions are reflected in the European Union.
Jim Jones-mass murderer, religious guy.
Hitler--20th Century's greatest monster, Catholic.
Amish guy who murdered young girls in a classroom-murdered young girls in a classroom, Amish.
"You will basically never find a lifetime criminal who has a strong faith in God."
What about Pat Robertson, Kent Hovind, Ray Comfort, Ted Haggard, Jimmy Swaggart, Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, Robert Tilton...
Confused?
