text: Really, you miss the point entirely. Being religious and believing in a god does not reduce or increase the chances of your becoming a criminal. The biggest contributors are socio-economic conditions and physical and psychological abuse. I am not an expert. However, my experience is that there are as many bad people in churches as there are outside. Being close to a god and hearing his message all the time, does not make any real difference to many people.
  
  North Korea is hardly a good example. Their leaders are nuts. The Koreans have no choice. They are forced to worship a different god: Kim. And communism only existed in its pure form once. Communism by definition should mean that everything belongs to everybody. This philosophy was adhered to by the early Christians. Communism is not bad. People oppressed others in its name, as has been done in the name of your god through the ages. Stop judging people by your measure.
