I had to laugh the other day when watching Česká televize. Several dull faced, depressed (i.e. stereotypical czechs) looking old men were having a heated discussion about why Poland had lower crime rates than Czech Republic. And they had several brilliant ideas, like people are still used to living under communist rule and they think that everything belongs to the people, and that the rise of the mafia in Poland made it difficult for free-lance criminals to operate.

But throughout the entire 2 hour debate, not one person said that the mass atheism in the Czech republic was to blame.

Silly Czechs...

No one said it because that would have made them look like proper idiots. You know, some people don't like to say stupid and inaccurate things.

as Atheism has no link to a lack of Western morals... (which come from Religion)

Fass already said it, but I'm adding my personal facepalm to this statement.

Hmm, funny.

All my friends are atheists. We are all moral, upstanding individuals who have never committed crimes.

Phail.

Catholics can't be used as an example of Religion, the Pope seems to make it up as he goes along...

the reason for the gap in the crime rates is due to everyone in Poland being deaf.

See, look how easy it is to make baseless claims.
It is true though.

*brings out irony meter* Hmmm... results are inconclusive, either the gentleman is being ironic, flame-baiting or is displaying one of the more profound cases of hypodeveloped cognitia I have seen.

I suggest further study is required.

I suggest a stimulus response test. We will test the individual's cognitive abilities by measuring his avoidance reaction time to being hit by large sticks.

Well ... except for that whole loving thy neighbor bit .... important to convert folks, especially if they're gay or muslim. Can't allow that, now can they? So let's just leave that part of the Bible out, mmkay? mmkay!

Silly Czechs...

Because atheists are all criminals? And religious people are all wonderfully moral?
I'd like to see the source on that one. I'll wait.
As for the cracks about Catholicism -- well, your ignorance is showing.

Since when did Atheism become needed for crime? I'm a Christian, and I know many atheists who are honest hard-working individuals. Why would we blame them for the problems of stupid people? (like ourselves, sometimes :D)

Yes, because all Christians uphold all of God's laws day after day without ever commiting a crime:rolleyes:. Atheism does not cause crime, it's been used as a scapegoat when some people (Who are not atheists) can't seem to figure out why crime is so commen. I don't know much about the Czech Republic so I couldn't say why their crime rates are higher though.

Many denominations are now reaching out to such communities for conversion.

Maybe the Czechs just have worse criminals that get caught more.
