You can call it misplaced, unfunny, or naïve but I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with it. Plenty of people in prison use religion as a means of self-improvement and then wrench themselves back onto the straight path after their release.
(I feel that if I don’t say “an equal number of people use religion as a justification for evil deeds” someone will mention it. Religion doesn’t make you a good person in itself. It’s your actions that decide that and religion is a means to that.)
It can save people. I’m saying it doesn’t always do that and occasionally it works the other way around. It is not a binary “yes” or “no”.
But if we have the opportunity to trade a robber for an evangelist, then I’ll take that trade any day. Robbers actively hurt society as their dayjob. Evangelists at most just talk and vote annoyingly (depending on your political views)
It’s like Chick-Tracts with better art and somehow worse reasoning.

and this comic is directly contradicting that. the implication is very much that finding religion saved that man. so, choose.
