The available evidence does not indicate a strong correlation between irreligiosity and criminality. Some studies have found that religious beliefs inhibit criminal behaviour, but systematic studies do not indicate that atheists or agnostics commit more crime. It is worth noting that only 0.2% of the US prison population identify as being atheist. Globally, there is a strong negative correlation between religiousity and homicide, although this is substantially confounded by levels of economic development. http://sci-hub.la/10.1111/j.1751-9020.2009.00247.x http://sci-hub.la/10.1111/j.1751-9020.2009.00247.x
