I don't know why I even should respond to you as you argue from emotion and I'm sure eventually I'll ignore you but for the benefit of others reading this thread.
I never said atheists are amoral. I said they make their own rules. The overwhelming majority of people in prison were not practicing Christians before their crimes. What conversions takes place while in prison is an entirely different issue altogether.
And yes, I do fear God. I fear being punished for bad deeds and strive to be rewarded for good deeds. Same reason why you listened to your parents. Same reason your employees listen to you. Same reason you don't break the law. Same reason why you don't go to the front door guarded by a snarling German Shepard. See the logic?
Psalm 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.

I'm sure you will ignore me as well as facts

I never claimed you said atheists are amoral , I said you equated atheism with being amoral , in your example that if you were an atheist you wouldn't have returned the money and the only reason you would is fear , you're only moral because you're being forced to out of fear
You don't know what overwhelming majority of people religious status was before they entered the system , you took some liberties here and lets entertain it's true what does that tell us about the rate of being repeat offenders when released? people find God in jail and after they get out they all become model citizens?

No logic , you admit that you're only moral because you're being babysat and or live in fear of punishment. You better give back that money to the cashier because you might have to explain that one to a vengeful angry God , I would give that money back because I know if she's short in her draw it may come out of her pay check and the simple fact that the money is NOT mine , no God needed morality without God.
