Whether it was or not, Christianity isn't generally suffering from a terrorism problem. Neither are most major religions save for Islam.
If atheist you mean "doesn't affiliate with any religion", I think you will find that most crime in this country is committed by atheists. Hate to burst that bubble.That is wishful thinking on your part. The Christian terrorism problem is just an order of magnitude smaller than the Muslim terrorism problem. That being said, it is orders of magnitude GREATER than Atheist based terrorism. If Christians and Muslims had the morals/ethics of American atheists, the world would be much much better and safer place in my opinion.

I'm betting the gangs of Chicago aren't too big on Religion.
We have this statistic thanks to a 2013 report released by the United States Federal Bureau of Prisons obtained by blogger Hemant Mehta. The report looks at all the federally run prisons in the U.S. — that makes up about 218,000 prisoners — and the inmates’ religious affiliations. When they say that less than one percent identify as atheist, they actually mean 0.07 percent. That’s right, 0.07 percent. That is way less than one percent.
Except that doesn't tell us what they were before they committed the crime. It's easy to find religion in prison.Don't believe you.

Athiest morals/ethics are clearly SUPERIOR to muslim/christian values, the data proves it scientifically.

Yeah that's almost certainly untrue. Even if you count all unaffiliated people as atheists, itself a highly dubious proposition, they only comprise about 23% of the US. I'm going to say it's a very, very safe bet that most crime in the US is committed by Christians because they comprise about 70% of the population.

http://www.universityherald.com/art...ng-crimes-atheists-believers-baylor-study.htmThe researchers arrived at the conclusion after examining data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. The study looked at data of 14,322 individuals in the age group of 18 to 28. The average age was determined to be 21.8.

"Calling oneself 'spiritual but not religious' turned out to more of an antisocial characteristic, unlike identifying oneself as religious," said Baylor researcher Aaron Franzen, a doctoral candidate and study co-author.
The Baylor researchers believe that people who deem themselves as spiritual but not religious are more broad-minded than the religious group, but could be either more or less conservative than the 'atheists' group.
"We were thinking that religious people would have an institutional and communal attachment and investment, while the spiritual people would have more of an independent identity," Franzen said.
The study has revealed that people who think they are spiritual but not religious are likely to have lower self-control than those who are religious. They are also prone to depression, anxiety and self-victimization. These traits are small indicators of potential criminal behavior.
It has nothing to do with goalposts. You cited stats of people who already committed the crime, not what they were before the crime. Most people find religion in prison, it's a desolate, hopeless, soul-sucking experience where they need to find some kind of hope that there's a better life than the one they already fucked up in.LoL..... NOICE goalpost move!
Citing four different studies, Zuckerman states: "Murder rates are actually lower in more secular nations and higher in more religious nations where belief in God is widespread." He also states: "Of the top 50 safest cities in the world, nearly all are in relatively non-religious countries."
Within the United States, we see the same pattern. Citing census data, he writes: "And within America, the states with the highest murder rates tend to be the highly religious, such as Louisiana and Alabama, but the states with the lowest murder rates tend to be the among the least religious in the country, such as Vermont and Oregon."

Joseph Stalin agrees!That is wishful thinking on your part. The Christian terrorism problem is just an order of magnitude smaller than the Muslim terrorism problem.

That also correlates with poverty...More data...

Actually, in fairness it looks like I've been using incorrect statistics. The figure from the NCVS is 240,000 across a 5-year period, so that would have to be cut down to about 48,000 per year. Regardless, that refers to defensive uses reported to police, and therefore not the shitty anecdotes found in...
And actually fight them at the same time. Doing both concurrently is far more than the additive sum.

Joseph Stalin agrees!
