I believe that there is correlation between religious belief and lack of responsibility. Religion provides a scapegoat that allows people to feel justified in certain actions, without taking personal responsibility for those actions. I don't think it's a coincidence that an American Christian is roughly 15 times more likely to end up in prison than an atheist.
