Statistically fewer atheists commit crimes. That is atheists as a group.
I really fail to see what you are arguing here. I'm not trying to argue that all atheists are good people or anything, I'm merely saying that statistics show that fewer atheists commit crimes than religious people. This would seem to indicate to me at least that atheists do not have fewer morals than religious people.

Atheists as a group on which the statistic was done? Yes. Atheists as a group from all around the wolrd together? No

I was talking atheists in the Western world here. I do not have statistics on Atheists in other parts of the world.

So was the statistic done on all atheists from western world?

No this statistic was done on the proportion of atheists in jail in the United States as opposed to the general population.

Which still proves my point, if you really want to narrow it down it proves that Atheists in the United States have morals.

This doesn't really mean much since our court system badly corrupt .. thus immoral itself. There is a lot of people that should be in prison now yet they have the power /money to "buy" their justice. OJ would have gotten away with killing his  ex-wife if he just behaved himself and he had a blood trail from the murder site to his house.

I'm not saying atheist doesn't have morals yet I doubt if our court does.

Pizzahut you are down to arguing that the statistics are non-representative, and I ask you for your justification for making that claim. 

Also, are you really trying to suggest that the justice system is biased to convict fewer atheists than religious people compared to the number that commit crimes?
