Fewer Americans are attending church today and many facilities are even slated to be closed down. Fewer women are attending church overall, while men have remained consistent or increased in attendance. However, there is a declining rate of Christianity in the U.S. overall, now just 62% of the country. Some link this decline to the perceived increased in crime, a debatable issue that requires lots of context - some crimes have declined while others have increased. Comparing the U.S. and its largely Christian population to other nations also sets up an interesting discussion. The safest countries in the world are largely Islamic or have a mixture of Buddhism and folk religion, even atheism. Some of the least safe are Christian. The overall safest country in the world based on the Crime Index Numbeo is, however, mostly Christian, but so is the least safest. The most consistently safe and clean countries, without authoritarian-style governments, are overwhelming not comprised of the Abrahamic faiths and share one thing in common - high IQ. In other words, high IQ, at least as much as religion, plays a significant role in morality low crime. This idea is historically validated, too, since long before Moses, Monotheism and the Decalogue, civilized and intelligence cultures had instituted divinely inspired laws to maintain morality and social order. Something similar can be said of dispelling evil in the name of Jesus. In every culture there is a similar practice based on different languages, mythologies, gods and goddesses.
