"Mary had a little lamb" is a Christian propaganda piece?

Look, just forget the prison statistics. The point I was trying to get at (relating to the OP poem) is that the idea that one particular religion, by itself, could magically solve all of our social ills is a rather ridiculous one.

LOL, ok. Sorry for picking on you. I do agree with this.

The poem promotes the Christian right's propaganda point that God/Christ was removed from school when teacher-led prayers were banned.

How do you know you're seeing the effects of religion specifically and not education or income?

I wasn't implying their faith caused their criminal behavior. I'm saying that a lack of faith isn't to blame for it, which is what the poem from the OP was trying to suggest. You tried to read way too much into it.
