Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Alabama, Arizona, Missouri, Tennessee, all very religious states (all in the Bible Belt except Arizona), all in the top 10 highest murder rates in the country.
Oregon, Maine, Minnesota, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, all not very religious states, higher than average Atheist rates, all in the bottom 10 lowest murder rates in the country.
Maybe less God is actually the solution to violence. The book of fibs is full of reasons why you can justify killing people (working on the Sabbath as an easy example).
