Mister Sir Tobie,
That is where you are wrong. Let's say there are 100 Atheists and 10 million Christians living in a country. Lets assume, for argument sake, all 100 Atheists go to jail and 1000 out of 10 million Christians go to jail. By numbers, the number of Christians in the prison outnumber Atheists but relatively speaking, 100% of atheists are in jail while a measly 0.1% of Christians make up the prison population.
You just glossed over the word "proportion". I'm not talking about absolute magnitude of people in prison, but proportion of faith groups in prison compared to their proportion in the population as a whole.
