Why when Churches increase crime increases?
Answer:
more people = more churches
more people = more crime
I think you have got this the wrong way round.
When crime increases and the authorities seem unable to cope, people turn to the Church, as a last resort.
to say there's a link between growing number of churches and crimes, is like saying there's a link between your age and the number of crimes since your birth. the older you get, the more crimes are increasing.
you're just linking two things together without any meaning.
to further disprove your theory, consider this.
A = B, B = C, therefore A = C.
correct all the time? wrong.
An apple(A) is red in colour(B), my shirt(C) is red in colour(B), therefore my shirt is an apple(A = C). can you see the flaw in your argument?
a reasearch shows that children with larger feet are smarter and can solve tough questions. however, it was later identified that older children are wiser, and older children have bigger feet. thus, a person with bigger foot may not always be wiser, and a wise person may not always have bigger foot.
in logic terms, you made the error of "Post hoc ergo propter hoc", and failed to realise that "Correlation does not imply causation".
consider taking up logic classes, you need them.

I'm not sure you are offering anything real here. Have you found a statistic that indicates a greater number of churches in a locale lead to a higher crime rate?
I rather doubt such a figure has been compiled.
I would suggest, and it's just a feeling, that a greater number of people turning to religion in a society often indicates that the society is not doing well, because scared and desperate people often turn to religion... which might be construed as something along the lines of what you are suggesting.
But that is just based on a feeling I have, and I'd never put it out as a substantiated concept.
Murders also go up when icecream sales go up. The ACTUAL reason behind that is that both go up when the heat goes up.
The underlying cause is not always apparent in the 1 to 1 relationship, even if a trend does exist it does not show cause.
