America is 80% christian, poland 95%catholic,Czech 70% Atheist. Why Czech has the best morals, lowest crime?

for all that are answering with "the US is a larger country", please notice that the statistics quoted here are PER CAPITA!!!!! the overall size of the country in question is irrelevant.

As underdude was saying; "For all have sinned and fall shorth of the glory of God." Romans 3:23. Nobody is perfect. Christians aren't perfect. Athiests aren't perfect. Athiests are everywhere. Christians are everywhere. Just because there is a low crime rate and a high percent of the population is Athiest, doesn't mean that Athiests are better. I don't think that Christians are better than Athiests, and I don't think Athiests are better than Christians. We are all sinners, therefore we all deserve to go to Hell. I'm not going to sit and argue with you that Hell is real, but if you refuse to believe then that's your loss. Please. As Christians, we just want to share our faith and only hope that you understand. Anyways, You'll all be in my prayers. God bless you! :)

It is tiny. It is ethnically pure (Czechs at 94.2%, Slovaks 1.9%). Japan is similar in this way. America is completely stratified in every possible way. Conversely, Christian and Catholic countries attract the most immigration or are most willing to accept it.

And your numbers are slightly off, or at least the way you're are breaking them down. According to a 2005 Eurobarometer poll, 30% of Czech respondents do not believe in God, spirit, or life forces. 50% believe in some sort of spirit or life force, and only 19% believe in God, the lowest rate of EU countries after Estonia with 16%. In terms of polling, 19% who respond they belive in God does not suggest that 81% reject all notions of God. This isn't the way polling works.

As far as atheists in prison, this is the easiest to understand. Being part of religious services in prison counts towards "good behavior" which counts toward earlier release. Similarily, claiming to be religious or identifying with a denomination is "honorific" and, in the mind of the inmate, sheds a better light on him or her. Identifying with atheism offers no external benifits in this way. This leaves out the number of outright conversions, which is not rare.

Well I think all of the atheists and agnostics on here knew most of that already. But thanks for putting numbers to it.

EDIT: To the person above me saying unreported crimes weren't figured in the percentage of unreported crimes would even out across the board. That is to say if 10% of crimes go unreported then that would be 10% of crimes committed by atheists as well as 10% comitted by christians.

All I know is Prague ROCKS.

I was there a little after Bush was elected, and I amazed our friends there, since they really had no clue that he'd lost the popular vote...or that so few Americans voted. Or my nearest megapolis is Toronto.

EDIT: BTW, for your other posters: PER CAPITA statistics don't change by % of people.... it's a percentage. 20% of 100 and 20% of 10000 is still 20%....

And let me join the atheists with this one. Compare the Crime rate of the greatest nation, America and Saudi Arabia(where sharia is applied). You will be shocked. All these rapes and murders is like unknown over there in Saudi Arabia.

It is nice to be able to try to give statistics, but you fail to see that the United States is a much bigger country & also have a more population than these other countries you mentioned, so if you try to use these figures then use it with all these countries having the same population, For example let's say all 3 countries, have a population of 15 Million each. Then that would bring the US down less then your own country. BY the way the USA has a population of over 300 million

Look, I don't believe in religious miracles, but are you seriously naive enough to believe that *every* or even most crimes get reported in ANY country? Going by your logic, Muslim countries have the lowest crime rates simply because they just don't bother to report all the murders, rapes, etc that happen on a regular basis in those countries. It's the same everywhere. You can't make a direct connection with religion (or no religion) being linked with crime, murder, rape, etc. It depends more on the politics, government and culture of a country/society. Some places are safer than others, but no place is totally safe, and in every place many, many crimes go unreported, unknown.

1) - population size does impact crime, and

2) - as Imacatholic 2 points out, your 70% atheist is more than flawed

High 5

Where do you get your 70% Atheist statistic?

According to the CIA World Factbook, the Czech Republic has the following religious groups:

Roman Catholic 26.8%

Protestant 2.1%

other 3.3%

unspecified 8.8%

unaffiliated 59%

(2001 census)

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world...

To the best of my knowledge, unspecified and unaffiliated do not mean Atheist.

And the U.S. State Department website states that Czechs are mostly Roman Catholic and Protestant. http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/3237.htm

With love in Christ.
