It’s misleading, Christians are uniquely broken into several separate groups, Catholic, Protestants, EO, and others, which distorts numbers. i don’t think of Mormons or JWs as Christian, some do, i think. (i added ??)
Of course, all numbers are REPORTED crimes. Lots of crime goes unreported.

Religious bias (Based on Table 1.)

0.8 percent (14 offenses) were anti-Mormon. ?
0.4 percent (7 offenses) were anti-Hindu.
0.4 percent (7 offenses) were anti-Jehovah’s Witness. ?
0.4 percent (6 offenses) were anti-Atheism/Agnosticism/etc.
0.3 percent (5 offenses) were anti-Buddhist.
6.5 percent were anti-other (unspecified) religion.
Stats make no note of promotion of various sins in public ed and health, versus formal avoidance of promotion of faith.
That could be seen as a passive-aggressive form of violence toward religion. In the least, it’s not balanced. If measured, it would be huge.
Gov should back away from promoting sin. There is no religious or secular excuse for it. Prayers for this!
Whether the topic is marriage-divorce-remarriage, for-profit abortion, or homosexuals-trans+++, or other,
for Christians, the spirit of The Word is to be sought after, not the letter of human law.
