Nobody is an objective observer. Why don't you worry about proving God exists, and that all of religion is something but a huge scam.

I'm sorry, but until I see a rigorous statistical study showing that, after accounting for all the usual suspects, religiousity is significantly correlated with scumness, I'm going to have a hard time believing you on this one. Do you have a large enough sample to make that claim? Is the media coverage equally distributed regardless of whether the offender is religious? Are you an objective observer? “Why is it the more people preach about sin and the evils of others the more likely it is that they are the lowest form of scum imaginable.”
