I found a study I thought was interesting regarding the morality issue.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons released the professed religious adherence rate of those in the U.S. Federal Prison system.
Christians make up about 80% of the American population AND prison population.
However, Atheists make up about 8% of the American population but only 0.2% of the prison population.
On the flip side, only about 1-3% of Americans are Muslim, but 7.2% of inmates are Muslim.
Studies of incarcerated Muslims in Ohio say that Muslim inmates are largely African American males and convert AFTER incarceration.
