The majority of Christians know little if anything of other
religions  and therefore they have accepted Christianity not based on
a careful study  and comparative analysis of Christianity with other
religions.

Most  of the Christians I have run into are in fact woefully ignorant
of other  religions and not all that knowledgeable of even the Bible
and  Christianity.

Apparently they have accepted the Christian religion  because they
were born in a predominant Christian country and/or because  they have
believed the claims made by various preachers, priests, etc.  And
many of these claims are questionable to say the  least.

Therefore when one says more people have read the Bible than  any
other religious book in the world or there are more Christians in  the
world than followers of any other religion, what does that  really
prove?

I assume that hundreds of years ago that the majority  of people on
the planet believed the world was flat. Did that therefore  make it
true?

Is truth determined by majority vote or majority  belief?

This  despite the problematic history behind Bible which Leadbeater told us.
