It grosses me the eff out how you have to call the people whose ideas you oppose, "wonderful people," or you're a racist/rabid atheist/sexist/etc.

"If you killed all the atheists in America you'd kill about 90% of their scientists. If you killed all the Christians, you`d kill 75% of their prison population."
...dude, that`s fashism. Besides that, your argument isn`t even valid since beeing christian isn`t necessarily the reason why these people are in prison. Here`s a fun fact: according to the united states census bureau 82% of americans are christian, whereas (acoording to you) only 75% percent of the prison inmates are. I bet that atheists have a higher chance of going to prison than... let`s say the amish. My point being: you can`t just correlate random data to prove something. There are scientific standards for that.
If you want to defend atheism or science vs religion, you better do your homework. Don`t use "science" the same way some religios people use "god".
"Blahblahblah God, therefore I`m right." This is not how it works.

I have faith in patchgrabber's statistics. You cannot prove them wrong sufficiently for me to disbelieve so don`t even try. My mind is now closed on this subject.

No they aren't, not even if you consider only the USA and ignore the rest of the world.
Most identify as atheist, agnostic or agnostic atheist (which is probably what most of those who call themselves atheists or agnostics actually are).
Most of the rest are not Christians - they either follow other religions or they kind of sort of believe in some sort of god, probably, without any religion.
Here`s an example, with a very Christian spin on it.
