Religion and standards

Religion is a subject that is every where all the time. Religion is your personal choice in what you may or may not believe, but studies show some interesting effects of religion on the people. Group beliefs can effect large areas in well Arizona for example. In the city of Phoenix religious percentages are not as great as in my home town, the town of Black Canyon and it shows... how does it show? well Phoenix percent wise has a much higher crime rate then in Black Canyon. One reason may very well be because in Black Canyon ~90% of the people living there are religious and in a small survey i took roughly 80% wouldn't commit a crime because of their beliefs. In Phoenix i asked 30 people if they would commit a crime under any circumstances and 30 out of 30 said yes.

Pros and Cons

Pros-if more people become religious then we will have less crime all around

Cons-religious can actually be a problem when it comes to agreeing with eachother so bad situation.

Impact-less crime unless the crime is actually happening because of religion itself
