That's a fair demonstration of demographics. However as we have seen lo these last eight years the amount of power controlled by one bloc is far more significant to our lives than their mere numbers.
In the US even today a more accurate representation of political power would be to have the whole pie blue except for a tiny sliver about half the size of the maroon segment above labeled "other".
There are a handful of Jews, one Muslim, and one open atheist (who had to wait until he had been re-elected 17 times in one of the safest Dem seats in the nation AND be threatened with "outing" before he admitted it) in Congress for example, and about half the nation would never even consider voting for a nonbeliever regardless of their political agreement in other issues.

it also happens to be true that Atheists wield practically no political power, either. Proclaiming onesself an atheist is probably the best way to avoid getting elected ever conceived.
The religious industrial complex calls it "persecution" if anybody threatens to just start paying attention to us.
