No father means no role model and no one to be an example.  If the person doesn't grow up in a Christian household, than sin is all they know.  Also, without a father, there is need.  No single cause creates crime.  If just one of these are there though, there is a good chance of it.

1. If there's a father, there's a slight chance they'll be a bad role model though, You gotta note this.
2. There are tons of religions and many different things are called "sins" if we followed them all we could barely do anything.
3. Need is not a common cause of crime. I can understand people living on the street stealing bread though

There are other role models for children too. A father figure helps, but making this claim is just incorrect.

Another reason that number 1 doesn't work out.

It is widely believed that having an abusive father can cause children to be abusive as well.

Or it can cause their kids to be a better father so their kids don't have to suffer through what they did.

but religion shouldn't be used in any way to create a law.
then your suppressing the freedom of those whit a different believe.

So basically if one religion believed that killing is bad that there should be no law against murder?

(sound like a president we know?)

Sounds familiar...

No. The law against murder shouldn't be made because one religion says it's bad. This isn't a juvenile reverse psychology rebellion, it's the simple fact that religion should be irrelevant to law. We make laws for reasons, not because some religion says something is or is not okay. If religion agrees, great. If it doesn't, well, too bad.

obama has to act like he believes because the laws and public demand that the president should have the christian religion.
so it's not his choosing it's what is demanded of him.

i would say "religion is irrelevant to law"
anyway... thx for hitting my mark.

Currently, it's not though. Religion has a moderate influence on law in the US. Other countries have much heavier influence on their laws from religion too. Hence why I said should.

public demand that the president should have the christian religion.

This is another example. Lawmakers/Politicians get voted for in part because of their religion. It shouldn't have anything to do with the vote, but it does. Also, obviously, those who believe in a certain religion are going to try and push their religion's values into law and try and limit what their religion says they should (to some extent).

This is another example.

spread logic, spread atheism. 1 day it will change.

Crime is caused by the insidious homosexual conspiracy to sap and impurify our precious bodily fluids.

Hate to break it to ya but ummmm... Hitler was not a Christian, he may have put on that mask for propaganda and to look good (sound like a president we know?) but he was by no means a bible follower

Hate to break it to ya...but Hitler was Christian. He didn't use it as a mask either...he was Christian. Mein Kampf has many references to god...and he made many of his soldiers/officers where pins/emblems representing god/Christian faith
Why don't you take a look-see?
