On the other hand, the Athiest, in order to show that religion is (as some claim) the cause of social misery, must prove that freedom from religious be- lief makes men just. 27 Men's conduct toward each other is determined primarily, not by moral teachings, but by their eco- nomic relations, it is impossible for men to be frater- nal when their interests clash and mere ethical teach- ing will not prevent their interests clashing. The ...futility of ethical teaching without improving conditions is shown by the fact that most criminals profess religion; out of 1, 319 crimiinals at Joliet, 825 had a common school education, 90 had a cdllegiate education, only 286 were intemperate, 960 were Americans and only 216 were without religious be- lief. It thus appears that neither illiteracy, in- tern perance, nor want of religious teaching was the cause of their crimes, and as regards men being nat- urally bad, Mr. D. G.
