That comes to about 15%.

A fairly small minority.

Also the "less than one percent" is a relevant statistic, not a distortion, just not the whole story.

but unevenly distributed so it's a critical mass in some places.

Again -

In small areas of low population, some group or other, is likely to be far more common or popular than it is in the general population. Going from that to the idea that its oppressive for the group to promote any religious ideas is a major leap to say the least. Freedom isn't oppressive. Freedom means the ability to make your own choices, including choices that other people might not like. Including choices to push religious ideas or to set membership criteria.
