You injected causality when you framed the "bad" kids as predominantly non-religious.

That seems to confuse correlation with causality, something I know you would not do intentionally.

I submit that the serious troublemakers in any school are far more likely to come from non-religious homes.

Just as the number of crimes committed by blacks in the U.S. is higher than whites in proportion to their percentage makeup of the population.

But being black per se is not the cause.
