I don't think this a good experimental design. Many people who become
Christians come with terrible histories - it's the parable of the sick
needing the doctor.
C.S. Lewis once noted that a man terribly afraid of cats who works up the
ability to pet a cat is a courageous man. But when compared to others, his
courage would not be seen. Thus, it would seem a better comparison would be
pre- and post-
conversion to Christianity. I can speak from personal experience that there
HAS
been a tremendous difference.
