In U.S. prisons, atheists are under-represented, and there are more Christians per capita than there should be given representative numbers in the population at large. This would seem to indicate the exact opposite of what you claim here. I think you just pulled this from your ass.Again I'm explaining what we believe in Islam. In the Qur'an numerous times it says "innalladhina amanu wa 'amilu saalihaat" Those who believe and do righteous deeds. So one by itself won't do. Both of them must be done in order to succeed
What you believe is nowhere near as important as why. If you come across a person who believes a thing for no reason at all, for example, or in direct contradiction to the evidence, would you say that this person has a belief worth taking seriously?
Moreover, if a person asks you for the evidence underpinning your belief, effectively asking you the "why?" you're not answering the question at all by just restating that what you've said is the "what?" We already know what you believe, if you're having to say it again: you were asked why that is.
