I currently would expect it to be proportional since I haven't seen any statistics or studies about it - but I don't have any belief or opinion formed about it, just an expectation. If you're suggesting that atheists tend to be over represented when it comes to crime (eg, 5% of society X is made up of atheists, but they're responsible for 20% of the crime) then I'm fine with that being a possibility. If this is what you're asserting you'll need to prove it.
EDIT: I edited this post and the meaning of it was changed quite a bit since I changed my mind afterwards. Sorry about that!
