~22% of theists are physicalists. The ratio of physicalists:non-physicalists among atheists is about 3:1.
Only 50% of theists accept the libertarian view of free will, but hardly any (<8% of) atheists do.
Theism is slightly correlated with scientific anti-realism, but only slightly. 70% of theists are scientific realists and and >10% of atheists are scientific anti-realists.
Shockingly, to me, ~17.7% of theists are moral anti-realists. Unlike the free will and philosophy of mind cases, I have no idea who these people are or what they’re thinking.
Also, you’re making some questionable assumptions about compatibilism. Many compatibilists would claim their definition of free will does match the common language understanding, and there’s some x-phi work that backs this up (done by Eddy Nahmias).

“There’s no objective morality, but God has the biggest stick”? That’s my best guess, anyway.
Wow! Those correlations are very surprising to me. I didn’t bother checking because it had seemed obvious to me that a theist must believe in a non physical enduring self or moral realism. I’m glad you asked me for more detail because my initial assumptions were way off.
So I hadn’t checked this, but it turns out the survey did report correlation data. Link to correlation data for belief in God.

If a physicalist can think ethical subjectivism can work, why not a thesis?
