I'd argue it's just the opposite. If people believed Calvinism, then they would believe that all humanity has an innate capacity for evil and it's only circumstances that lead some people to become criminals and others judges. As I see it, the logical conclusion is that by changing people's circumstances we would be able to reform criminals.

However, I'm increasingly suspecting that many if not most people who profess to be Christians are actually just tribalists.
