Yes, there are many, many studies showing positive correlation between secularism and crime rates/happiness, as well as intelligence.
Here's a few articles/threads on the subject I found with just a simple Google search:

Just because you want to think that we're trying to seem high and mighty doesn't mean we are. Look at the facts before you go ahead and lie by accusing us of using loaded statements.
It's pretty comical that you don't realize that most gods are, in fact, sky wizards. They grant wishes and create things with magic. Sounds like a wizard to me.
And yeah, I'd have to say religious people have something "off" in their heads. It's a belief based on absolutely no evidence besides anecdotes and a 2000-year-old book of desert fairy tales (give or take a few hundred years). Of course there could be a god of some kind, but to insist that there is based on NOTHING shows a level of stupidity that is hard to match.
You have an obscenely low chance of winning the lottery, so why would you live your life believing that you'll win in the future? It's the height of idiocy.
