2. Religion doesn't decrease crime as I made clear in a thread at the bottom of all my posts.

Psychology doesn't decrease crime either. However, religion can have a positive impact on certain individuals and decrease or eliminate a particular individual's criminality.

3. Prisoners may just fake converting to get reduced sentences.

They may also fake what they're telling the psychologist for the same reason.

4. Their is a diffrence between entirely censoring evangelicals and not allowing them to run prisons where no other religions are represented and where the prisoners are shut out of any diffrent opinions other then that of the evangelical church. Plus it affringes on the seperation of church and state as prisons are owned by the state.

If a Muslim group wants to operate a prison or a Hindu group wants to or a Wiccan group wants to or a Jewish group wants to, let them! If a secular humanist group wants to, let them. Maybe they'll do a better job of it than the government is doing!
THERE IS NO SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE ANYWHERE IN THE CONSTITUTION!!!!!!
Government does not have the constitutional authority to infringe on religion in any way whatsoever and it does not have the authority to establish an official State (meaning federal) religion.
