You should note that the religiosity of the American prison population has been examined and Atheists and Jews are heavily under-represented. Christians are over-represented in prisons.
The other thing you could do is compare Canadian or American crime rates with those of the Scandinavian countries where religiosity is very low. You will find that the religious are far more dishonest than the non-believers.
A higher incarceration rate could be due to higher morality, whereas other countries make less effort to stop criminals out of fear and collusion. Regarding Scandinavian countries, Norway, for example, on wiki says 85% claim to belong to a Christian church.
We are only concerned with Christianity verses all other faiths including agnosticism and atheism.
80% of people in American call themselves Christians. But based on the savings ratio, generously speaking, 1% are actually born-again so 0.8% of Americans are actually Christians; that's 1 in 125 Americans saved.
13% of people in American are atheist or agnostic. They are all unsaved, because Jesus said if you are not for Him you are against Him.
Those in prison who claim to be Christian is 70% so the rate goes down from 80% which is good, but no true Christians go to jail for would Jesus behave that way? No, of course not. So the difference between 80% and 70% would indicate that no true Christians go to jail. Now there are less who call themselves Christians in jail, as none of the real Christians would go to jail in the first place.
There are 20% who are atheist or agnostic in jail so the rate goes up from the 13% of the American population being atheist/agnostic. What this indicates is that a higher percentage of atheists are in jail than the general public in society indicating the evil nature and immorality that stems from natural selection.

We are not to compare religions with atheism/agnosticism since all religions are false except Christianity. Some could even be worse than atheism/agnosticism.
Atheism/agnosticism is itself a religion. For example communism in the Soviet Union was a dysfunctional society. Stalin killed 40 million people. Mao killed 70 million and Hitler killed 30 million. Japan is atheist and was a murderous killing machine in WW II.
I'll leave you to think if you are more honest than other religions, but you guys are all unsaved and going to Hell since salvation is only through Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which one can be saved.
The raw death numbers alone makes atheism the most evil religion on this planet. And certainly you don't compare to Christianity. There are no atheist charities. They are all Christian. The body of Christ is the highest morality on this planet since God chose us before the foundations of the world. He considers the Church the most precious pearl on this planet in Matthew 13.
Atheists are bad people, clearly proven by this data. They have a higher percentage of people in jail than they should more than any other group.
Clearly the data doesn't agree with you.
What's more is that Jesus had no sin, so no Christian would go to jail anyway since that is not Christlike. No matter how you try to fudge things, it doesn't matter anyway, since Jesus never hurt anyone. To be in Christ is to be Christlike. By definition that means you don't do anything that would send yourself to jail. Except for that stuff that is not your fault for there are many who are antichrist who try to put Christians in jail if they can't find a way to kill us.
