Go figure?
The top 30 countries for murder in the world are Christian.
The top 50 cities for murder int he world are Christian.
So, it doesn't necessarily figure that being Christian universities they're going to be "the safest".
Firstly, their method of choosing "the safest" doesn't seem to match what is safe.
Health and safety, drug safety and party scene.
What?
Basically means "how much do security treat the students like little kids?"
So parents can know their kids will come back from three years at university still wearing their little kid nappies and totally unaffected by the REAL WORLD.
Name the Christian theocratic countries and Christian cities.
Oh right, yeah, let's change everything.
"Christian theocratic countries"? I didn't say they were theocratic. I said they were CHRISTIAN COUNTRIES.

And you believe Christianity drives their murder?
You're argument is biased and disingenuous.
Wait, you ask me a question, then before you get the answer you say it's "biased and disingenuous".
Er.... you don't know what my argument is yet.
Does Christianity cause there to be more murders? In a way yes. It's clear there's a problem.
In Asia, the Philippines has the highest murder rate and is the ONLY Christian country in the whole region.
In Africa the top murder countries are Christian countries.
This isn't being unbiased. It's taking what exists. I could try and find crime rates for these countries but generally crime rates are difficult to impossible to match accurately between different countries. Even between two countries it's hard.
Also not disingenuous. I've stated what I've got and I've not said anything that is in any way misleading.
What could be causing this? It is just a coincidence? I don't think so.
It's funny because the lowest murder rates are also Christian.
Andorra, San Marino, Monaco, Nauru and Niue are five countries with 0 murder rate. They're all Christian, but also very small.
Then you have Macau, Japan, Iceland, Singapore, Burkina Faso, Hong Kong, Qatar, Brunei, Indonesia, Switzerland, Norway, Bahrain, Austria, Czech Republic, China, Portugal, Oman, Poland, Italy, Palestine, Spain.
So, you have a mix of Far Eastern culture, Muslim countries and European Christian countries.
This is what seems to be the case. European Christian countries are safe countries.
African, Asian and American Christian countries aren't so safe.
Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the US are relatively safe compared to other Christian countries.
Could it be that Christianity as a religion that has been passed down from generation to generation within a society where Christianity grew up, ie, Europe, has led to one way of seeing the religion, whereas when it goes abroad and gets taken up by others, then it changes and suddenly becomes something different?
Certainly Islam has much lower murder rates. Not hard to see why. It despises crime and has severe punishment for it.
The Far East is a people thing. The people are less likely to commit violence crimes in general. Except that the Philippines has high violence in Manila especially. Much higher than the US, for example.
So Christianity seems to have taken people who would normally be calmer, and made them more aggressive.
OR..... let's go totally the other way.
Latin America was Spain and Portugal. The overlords of these countries.
In the US it was the British, along with Canada. The US has a much higher murder rate among black people who were looked down on for most of US history.
Could it be that the overlords' way of dealing with the locals led to a way of thinking among the people that has been passed down over the generations. A mentality that is more violent?
Well, it could be. In East Africa you have many countries that were controlled by western European countries. But Ethiopia wasn't. However it has one of the highest murder rates in the region, whereas Malawi, controlled by the British, has the lowest (lower than the US), whereas South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland in the same situation have some of the highest murder rates in the world.
This isn't an easy thing to say what has caused this. Because Christian countries can be both murder ridden or not. But certainly it is in Christian countries where if something goes bad, it goes really bad.
