Silliness – not only for religion anymore

MSNBC piece on a new study saying that “religious belief leads to more crime and other undesirable social problems” (as opposed to all those other desirable social problems, like, I suppose, not knowing what to do with all the surplus money your society has).
Very briefly they mention near the end that it’s only a correlation issue, but of course they lead in with causality. I’m not a religious person by far, but allow me to propose an alternative interpretation: this actually proves the existence of a god and he’s clearly testing the faithful, since clearly the more faithful there are, the more he tests them – that shows both intelligence and intent.
Come on. You’re not doing us atheists any favors with pieces such as that one.
