atheists in jail
I've been given a statistic from the Penn Jillette show. Of the surveyed 75,000 inmates there were 156 prisoners identifying themselves as atheists. That's actually higher than I thought. I think .2 percent is accurate but I've only ever heard of 2 atheists. One on a HBO program and one who wrote to the Atheist Community of Austin asking for reading material.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that most parole boards look favorably upon prisoners who have found (or claim to have found) God during their sentence and thus have demonstrated that they have changed their ways. I must say that I would probably be willing to fib like that to reduce my sentence.
