Okay. You're right. Saying you are a member of a particular religion may make you more likely to be a 'better' person (less likely to rape, murder or whatever) but it's no guarentee.

Please let's don't get into a distracting religious argument based on the relative merits of different faiths, but all I'll say is that there are plenty of well known examples of people doing 'bad' (we can more or less all agree that they are 'bad') things *in the name of religion - honour killings, capital punishment, the killing of innocent civilians etc.

I wonder what would happen if the Americans elected a President who said he had no faith in a religion, rather than one who is supposedly a 'good, christian man'.
