85% of Noble Prize winners are Christian or Jewish. Christians and Jews together make up only about 32% of the world population.

You are wrong about the figures. First of all, you are grouping Jews and Christians together. Jews have won 197 Nobel prizes till now, i.e 22.4% of the total. Remember that they are just around 0.15% of the world population. A Jew is 100 times more likely than a Christian to win the Nobel Prize.

And secondly, many of the "Christian Nobel laureates" in your list are actually non-religious or atheists.

The figures are not wrong. Here is the source read it yourself.

I specifically bolded the information on the large number of Jews who won Nobel Prizes. The quoted article was from 2013. At that time Jews had won 193 prizes now it's a few more.

There is no denying the accomplishments of the Jews in this area are particularly impressive. That is why I provided the numbers for both Jews and Christians separately before I provided a combined total.
