The point is that religion is irrelevant for those who are going to do evil anyway.  Religion just gives them justification.   And good people will do good things with or without religion, but will only do evil things under the guise of religion. How do you know you wouldn't have been a "better person" without being a premie?  Why do you attribute being a "better person" to being a premie?  How do you know you didn't just mature and grow up?  What was it about being a premie that made you "better?"  I think we all just told ourselves that and premies still believe it, but I have never seen any evidence that there is any truth to that. I don't think being a premie changed my essential nature or my values in any way.  It just allowed me to repress certain of them, mostly to my detriment.
