Highest rates of crime? Doubt it. The paper just speaks of homicide. IF
you look at violent crime where no one dies, other industrialized
countries are worse off, based on the statistics. I suspect some
fiddling around with the definition of "violent" is at play, but
still...

Homicides have more to do with a certain amendment than with religious
beliefs.
