    I say No, because there are many people already living their lives this way today. They aren't out committing crimes but actually living - working, shopping, preparing dinner, raising their children, enjoying hobbies, etc.

    High crime rates are always related to high poverty. If you reduce poverty, crime rates will drop too

    “With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.”
    Steven Weinberg

    I think that quote just about sums up a logical answer to the OP. I suppose you could say that religion allows evil people to be good but the evidence suggests that despite being religious evil people are still evil...!
