Do Christians keep the strip clubs in business?

Patrick Greene blames the proliferation of strip clubs in the Dallas area on Christians. He says that there aren't enough atheists to keep the clubs in business, so it must be the Christians. Now, I am not denying that one can probably find at least one Christian man in a strip club anytime it's open. But Patrick's logic is flawed.

Patrick leaves out all the people who are neither Christian nor atheist. And I have a feeling they make up the vast majority of folks. Even the devil believes in God, but I don't think he falls into the Christian camp. Just because one is not an atheist or a hindu or a muslim or a rasta or a wiccan doesn't mean he is a Christian. Lots of people who are not Christian believe in God. They just don't believe they need Him. And those are the ones Patrick is likely to run into in the strip joints -- along with all the atheists who are undoubtedly there.
