That number is given in comparative percentages, so no, your argument doesn't stand. Atheists comprise of about 9-15% of general population of your country and less than 1% of the prison population. The comparison is not based on percentage of atheists in prison vs percentage of theists, it is based on comparison of percentage in prison vs percentage outside.
