 | Atheists and the Federal Bureau of Prisons http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdVucvo-kDU This evening I noticed a YouTube video by zakiechan titled "Atheist." That video cites data I originally published in the year 1997. This no longer surprises me, since I have seen that data has been used and abused in scores of places on the Internet. The data is usually used by atheists to show that the prison population in the United States is made up mostly of Christians, with a tiny fraction of one percent of the prison population being atheists. If I had known the data would be misused and abused I would not have published that data. In brief, the history of that data is as follows. In the FidoNet message conference called HOLYSMOKE in 1997, the issue came up regarding the hypothesis that atheists commit far fewer crimes than theists; one of the people who held the contrary opinion, Jesse J., said quote "Indeed, if there were no God, I would _have_ to be selfish, I believe, because there would be no one else watching out for me, and no reason to put anyone or anything ahead of me." His argument was that people must believe in a god or gods to be ethical, moral, and law abiding. His belief was known to be false, yet nobody in HOLYSMOKE could point to hard data showing it was false. And by the way, I would hate to be this guy's neighbor if and when he ever abandons belief in his god. One HOLYSMOKE contributor, Rod S., decided to contact the Unites States Federal Bureau of Prisons and ask if there was data regarding the religious affiliations, if any, of incarcerated prisoners. Research Analyst for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Denise Golumbaski, performed a database query on 5 March 1997 that compiled that data, and mailed it to Mister S. Of the 96,968 prisoners in Federal facilities who reported a religion affiliation or reported they were atheists, 156 of them said they were atheists. The overwhelming majority said they were Christians. In 1997 I widely published the data in FidoNet, Usenet, and in two skeptic related magazines. If I recall correctly, the Bay Area Skeptics also published the data. The Freedom From Religion Foundation contacted me asking if the data was legitimate; if I recall correctly, so did Fundamentalists Anonymous. I told them all what I will say now. It was never my contention, nor Mister S's, that the numbers actually mean anything. For all anyone knows, 100% of the USA Federal Prison Population is made up of atheists. Or flying saucer cult adherents. Or Branch Davidians. The only thing the data shows is that most prisoners said they were Christians: that does not mean they were. There are many reasons why atheist prisoners would say they are Christians: Christian prisoners in the United States are granted privileges other theists, and non-theists, are not granted. It is in atheists' self-interest to say they are Christians. I should also note that this does not mean there are more atheists in USA Federal prison than 0.21 per cent: it just means that the probability there are many more is very likely. |

 | Parag Khanna - Create a Bureau of Multi-American Affairs Khanna, a Senior Research Fellow at the New America Foundation, advises the next president to abolish the Bureau of Public Affairs and Public Diplomacy in the State Department and to replace it with a Bureau of Multi-American Affairs. This bureau would bring together leaders of corporations, NGOs, and other civil society groups to help solve the specific challenges that America is seeking to address in world, such as climate change, post-conflict reconstruction, poverty alleviation, and public health. This will allow us to think of American foreign policy not as something that only government does, but what American society as a whole can contribute. |
