"...but it was the abolition of prayer in schools that directly corresponds to the increase of crime in America." On the other hand, it seems that crime rates are declining as the boomers age. If this is the case, good riddance to this apparently crime-prone age group, which of course includes so many captains of commerce and government these days. May they die early and often ;-) . In either case, the presence of correlation is not proof of causality, but I'll take the demographic hump over the lack of state sanction of particular religious practices when it comes to increased crime rates in recent history. As the U.S. grows ever more diverse in the coming years, I can certainly see problems ahead in the premise that tax-funded education must include special treatment for the religious beliefs of a portion of the public. There is an ugly side to the prayer-in-school movement, and that side is the side of denial of inevitable change in our society, reaction and xenophobia. Are these people so insecure in their belief that they must cram it down the throats of everyone else's children?
