Why we should all convert

[DBT]

The Royal Lie was seen as a useful tool for social control and cohesion centuries ago, so what does that say about human psychology....

That stat of there being more Christians in jail; does that control for conversions while in prison?

No it does not. It's called riding a Bible out of jail.

If that's the case, then why are there fewer Mormons and Buddhists than atheists in jail? Wouldn't a prisoner be better served by claiming to be either before claiming to be atheist?

While I have no doubt that there are a lot of "jail cell conversions," that alone is not enough to explain what we see in the data.
