One the one hand, you mention "Global moral prejudice against atheists", which I agree is a problem.

Then the main post is about some logical fallacy in an article.

Then you finish with talking about prejudice to atheists.

In any case, if "Data from the Federal Bureau of Prisons suggest that atheists are far less likely to commit crimes than religious people, and globally the least religious countries have the lowest crime rates.", it's at least supportive of the idea that atheists commit fewer crimes.
