Chuck, 
In the spirit of showing how a majority works and the consequences here is a visual demonstration:

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.
