the prisons are filled with inner city punks who never go to church or care to. They have no beliefs. Prisons are loaded with atheists

"Intelligent parents would recognize that atheists per capita are far under represented in the prison population which means they are more conforming to community standards (they don't break the law) or they are much smarter than superstitious people at avoiding detection! Somebody ought to do a study."

I think atheists are over-represented in prisons. Studies do show religious involvement is negatively correlated with crime:
