Megalithic Churches correlated with local murder rates

This is a follow up of Media is aiding and abetting in Televangelist Fraud which began a review showing a large correlation between megachurches and higher murder rates, which followed up Does lack of education increase violent crime? Religion? that showed there was a correlation between support for religion and the ten states with the highest murder rates verses the ten states with the lowest.

According to the count of churches, which isn't complete but probably includes more than half of the Megachurches with more than 2,000 people attending, there are 338 megachurches in the ten states with the highest murder rates and only 70 in the ten states with the lowest. However the ten states with the highest have about twice the population of those with the lowest, so they have about 2.4 Megachurches for every 1 in the ten states with the lowest rates; however the ten states with higher murder rates also have bigger megachurches; among those with more than 10,000 members, adjusted for population, they have about four times as many.

As I have pointed out in previous articles, this correlation alone won't explain all the reasons for the higher murder rates in these areas, and part of it is that in order to attract this many worshipers many of them have to be near big cities where murder rates are higher; but combined with other research it can help narrow things down. One major issue is that religions often support the use of corporal punishment which teaches children to resolve problems with violence later in life; another one is that the enormous amount of money put into these churches and, in some cases enormous salaries for televangelists are diverted from funds that could be used for social issues like child care or education.

I have also followed up with a revue of Alabama's Megachurches, although after glancing at some of the other states I can tell you it isn't typical of the correlation and is worse. Alabama is even more extreme than the national average. In Alabama only nine out of thirty seven of their megachurches are in cities with below average murder rates for the nation, an additional three are in cities with murder rates that are barely below Alabama's rate but above the national rate. Almost half of the Megachurches in Alabama are in cities with three times the national average. Alabama doesn't have any cities with more than 220,000 people, so even many of their rural areas have high murder rates; however if they're this high in the areas with Megachurches in them they must be much lower in other areas, otherwise their statewide averages would be higher.

A recent article, Alabama Bill Would Grant Mega-Church Right To Create It’s Own Police Force 04/26/2017, seems to imply they recognize a potential problem, although they may not be putting it in the proper perspective. They cite school shootings to justify the necessity of this but a closer look to see if they already have problems with smaller violence might help understand it better. This is also one of the nineteen states that still allow corporal punishment, and this Church also has a School. Religions are well known for using corporal punishment more than secular schools, yet they're in denial about the potential long term damage that it might do.

Also there are only two megachurches in Alaska which is easy to review, and both are in Anchorage, which may be the only city big enough to support a megachurch, and it has above average rates for the nation as well. Anchorage is large enough population-wise to qualify as a big city; however it has much more land than the vast majority of cities with high populations so it is much more urban. This should also not be considered typical of the comparison among other states without a closer look.

Eight out of nineteen of Arkansas' megachurches are in cities with above average murder rates for both the nation and the state; six of those are in cities with four times the national rate; one more is in a city with above average rate for the nation but below for the state, two of the remaining nine are in suburbs near one of these high crime cities and two more are in a city only barely below the national rate. Clearly the average rate for cities with megachurches is well above average, perhaps more than double depending how it was calculated, although few would agree on a method.

All eight of Connecticut's megachurches are in cities with below averate rates for the nation and only one is in a city with above average rate for the state; however all eight are in the suburbs of two cities, Hartford and New Haven with well above average rates for both the nation and the state. If these two big cities didn't have such a high rate the state would be much lower.

Eighteen out of thirty eight of Arizona's megachurches are in cities with above both the national and state murder rates, in three different cities; ten of those are in Phoenix with tweice the national rate; six in Tuscon with about seventy percent above the national average and the other two are in Glendale only moderately above average; the rest are all in the suburbs of Phoenix some bordering it, a few of those, mostly wealthier suburbs are well below average and others only moderately below average; but even the lowest are still higher than Europe's least violent countries.

eighty-two of California's two hundred and twenty-seven megachurches are in cities with above average murder rates; an additional three are in cities with rates above the national average but below the state average; thirteen of them are in cities with more than double the national average; seven of those are in cities with three to five times the national average murder rates; most of the other ones above average are in cities with more than fifty percent above average including the twenty in Los Angeles, and the ones in a few other large cities which are almost double the national rate. The majority of the ones below average murder rates are in the suburbs of larger cities with the largest share outside of Los Angeles; some of them are in the suburbs of San Diego and San Jose, both of which have below average murder rates, which is very unusual for large cities, however they're still above three, along with almost half of the other ones below average, which means that even though over sixty percent of them are in cities with below average rates, since the ones above average are well above average the average for cities with megachurches would still be above average, although not by as much as most states, especially in the South.

The cities with double the national average are listed first followed by the largest ones, the smaller ones above average, the three between the national and state aver, then the ones below average with each group in alphabetical order.

All ten of the mega churches in Iowa are in cities with below average murder rates compared to the nation; however Iowa has one of the lowest rates in the nation and three of them are in cities with above average for the state and six more are near cities above average for the state. Several of these are very close and may draw a fair amount of parishioners and funds from those cities others like Pella are farther away. The tenth one is Spirit Lake which is in the middle of nowhere and seems to have over half the population attending their church but no murders.

Several of the cities with megachurches in Kentucky don't have complete information but there is enough to determine that at least eleven of Kentucky's twenty megachurches are in cities with twice the national average, including ten in Louisville; an additional three were in Lexington which is above average for the state but below average for the nation; another two are in small cities without complete data but there have been several news reports of high profile murders in those small cities which might be enough to put them close to, if not more than, either the state average or the national average.

Louisiana has consistently had the highest murder rates in the nation and eleven out of twenty-six of their megachurches are in cities with well above the national rate and the state rate; three of them are in Baton Rouge with over four times the national average rate; and four of them are in New Orleans with a rate ten times the national average; an additional two are just outside in Metairie with almost as high if not as high a rate; only three of them are in cities with below average rates for the nation and two of those in a city just across the lake from New Orleans with ten times the national rate; all but one of the megachurches below average for both the nation and state and one with below average for the nation but above for the state are in the suburbs of the cities with much higher rates. Clearly the average murder rates for the Louisiana cities with megachurches are well above average for both the nation and the state; which means that most of the cities without megachurches in them must be below average, often well below otherwise the state rate would be even higher than it already is.

Nine out of forty-four of Maryland's megachurches are in Baltimore with a rate of 40.45, one of the highest murder rates in the nation; an additional six are in cities with above average rates; and ten more, in addition to the ones in Maryland are in Washington DC with a rate of 27.07. Most of the remaining twenty-six megachurches are in cities with limited records about murder rates, so some of them might also be above average although most of them are probably not, although a search of the internet often indicates that tehre are more murders in a coulpe of these towns; however all but one of these are in the suburbs of either Baltimore or Washington DC or in many cases both, since they're not far apart. Washington DC residents have no elected representatives to Congress who makes decisions about providing resources for their city, and they're clearly not even trying to do a good job. Baltimore does have elected officials but they don't seem to be doing much better. Even though most of the megachurches are in cities with below average rates, the average of the cities with megachurches must be well above average since Baltimore rates are so bad, especially if you consider how close these suburbs are to these two abandoned inner cities and include Washington DC in the average. This is one of the most blatant examples of apartheid in the country, just outside of the seat of government, and it is hardly ever mention in the national media or debated during election time.

12 Most Dangerous Cities In Michigan 2017

These Are The 10 Most Ghetto Cities In Michigan For 2018

Three out of twenty-nine of Minnesota's megachurches are in Minneapolis with a rate double the national average; another one is in St.Paul with above average rate for the nation and state; and one more is above average for the state but below average for the nation. The other twenty-four are all in the suburbs near the twin cities; even though the majority of them are below average for both the nation and the state the average would be above average for the state since Minneapolis is so much higher than the rest of the state. The stark difference between the suburbs and Minneapolis is one of the most obvious examples of apartheid, in the country even though this state is routinely at the bottom when it comes to murder rates.

Three of Mississippi's thirteen megachurches are in Jackson with over five times the national average rate, one more is in Hattiesburg with more than twice the national rate; six of the remaining nine, all with below average rates, are in the suburbs just outside of large cities with well above average rates. Even though the majority are below average the state average will be well above average since those that are in violent cities are so much higher, especially if the proximity to larger more violent cities is considered for those below average.

Nine of Missouri's thirty-six megachurches are in the two largest cities, St. Louis and Kansas City, on opposite sides of the state, with seven and four times the national average murder rate.

This is one of the most blatant examples of apartheid policies in the country, although the media rarely reports on it.

Seven out of fourteen megachurches in Nevada are in Las Vegas with murder rates sixty percent higher than the national average; three more are in Reno with rates above the national average but below the state average; the other four are in suburbs just outside one of these cities. All the megachurches are clustered close the the two biggest gambling cities in the state and perhaps the nation, which is another major contributing factor to high murder rates. Hype about gambling seems to coexist with hype about religion in Nevada.

Thirty of New York's forty-two megachurches are in cities with above average murder rates for both the nation and the state and one more is in a city with above average rates for the state, but not the nation. Twenty-seven of them are in New York City, which is only moderately above the national rate but significantly above the state rate; however most of those are listed by their boroughs and there are numerous articles indicating that they're in the most violent portions of New York City, including Brooklyn, which has ten megachurches, Queens, which has seven and Harlem and the Bronx. Many of these are presumably well above the national average; and one of the three outside of New York City, in Rochester is almost four times the national average. Most of the remaining megachurches are either in cities where the rates were unavailable or they were low, in a couple cases they didn't have any murder at all; however most if not all of them were close to larger cities with much higher rates.

At least Twenty-eight of Ohio's fifty-seven megachurches are in cities with above average murder rates; however there are also a few in cities that border major cities with above average rates with small populations, where the murder rates may be higher, so that figure might be low; twenty-three of these are in cities with more than double the national average and a few more are just below that level; ten of those are in cities with almost four times, if not more than four times the national murder rate. All but two or three of the megachurches in cities with below average murder rates are fairly close to the high crime cities, some of them bordering them. four or five of them are only moderately below the national average; however most of the others are well below, which is to be expected, since the large cities have such high rates, in order to avoid getting into the top ten murder rates with a higher rate, the rest of Ohio has to be well below average. Like many other states Ohio has lots of cities with well above average murder rates surrounded by suburbs with very low rates, sometimes as low as Europe's least violent countries. However in most cases it should be clear that if they provided reasonable education and child care services, instead of spending all that money on courts and prisons, that they could keep the low rates in the suburbs without the high rates in the cities.

Only five of Washington's fifty-one megachurches are above average for the nation and four of those are in Tacoma, one of their biggest cities, the other is in a small isolated town that had a few high profile murders recently and a threat to kill that looked like it might have come from a religious extremist. An additional fifteen were below average for the nation but above average for the state; almost all of the remaining ones are in the suburbs outside of Seattle or Tacoma, which are fairly close together, one of them is bordering Portland Oregon and three of them are in isolated areas. Three of them are in cities with a rate of less than one; however since the average rate for the state is so low, and many of the below average cities are barely below it, the average rate for cities with megachurches would probably still be above the state average.
