Interesting, but there are a couple of question marks. First of
all, has anyone seriously tried giving equal time to a system
of education of humanist moral values? Secondly, this only proves
that people who are already amoral and, well, screwed up are
helped by Christianity. But it doesn't say anything about what
happens if you raise your children from the beginning with a
humanist moral view.
As I have said before, there may well be people who are so
sociopathic that they *need* an externally-enforced morality of
this sort. And we would expect to find more such people in prison
than out of it!
So this really doesn't prove much, except that Christian morality
may have a few niche markets where it is particularly helpful.
