the more secular a US state, the less crime-ridden it is.
At the risk of opening a Pandora’s Box, I’m gonna ask what evidence there is of this.
Yeah even I don’t get that one.
States like Louisiana, which is more religious than other states, has a far greater crime and murder rate than more secular states like Vermont or New Hampshire. I’m using it as an example of how it’s totally false that religion makes a society less criminal.
