You are making the assertion that theists are more creative that atheists, and your reasoning is that there are more creative theists than there are creative atheists.

Does that sound like the words of a creative person? I dare you to write a poem using those words. It better be good.
The problem is, you aren't doing a proper comparison. We don't compare numbers in statistics, we compare relative values. That is, what proportion of atheists are creative, vs the proportion of theists that are creative.
Otherwise, my argument stands as well. Theists make better murderers, rapists, thieves...etc. We should start locking you all up since you all have a much higher chance of turning into criminals than atheists do.
