Well, are the "Jamaican Voodoo Posses" Catholic? How about the Russian Mafia? What about the Japanese Yakuza and the Chinese Triads?

And incredibly, Discovery Channel is going to start a show on the Amish Mafia...

It is an odd thing to note, but one cannot really think of an Anglican crime family, a Methodist gang, or a bunch of Presbyterian mobsters.

IOW, it's more about crime syndicates emerging from close knit ethnic communities that are outside the mainstream, than any particular religion.

Clippety clop, right past the toll booths without paying, after the bang, bang, bang.
