Serious religious debate only. If it's posted here, it is a serious question that is on someones mind. No bashing!
Please note that it is a crime to falsify information on religions or organizations. Know your facts before you state them!
On the topic and idea of religion:
Religion is a very broad field.
It is impossible to accurately predict the number of religions individuals obtain. There are many small, isolated religions in certain parts of the world. Groups living in areas that hinder communication and interaction often tend to be small..thus preventing diffusion from occurring.
It should also be noted that in the "Humanist" philosophy, each persons religious theology is unique, therefore the answer would be equal to the current population of the Earth.
So to simply say that he who believe in God is stupid or of low intelligence is a vain comment because a person can simply turn that back around on you and say what you believe in has no more validity than my argument.

I think most Christians DO answer that question. They usually tell you the story of how their life was BEFORE they found Christ. Many people are Christians because of bad life decisions and Christians that saved them from that life.

Perhaps you could list some things that Christianity has done in the recent years to validate your claims. Since you have not done that I assume you would like to know some of the positive things Christians are doing for humanity.

If we should labor all our days in preaching Christ and save just one soul, how great will our joy be with that person in the kingdom of God.

Fighting hunger makes economic and political sense, Christian activist says

Why do you require a GOD to do all those things when YOU are capable of these choices?
The one thing GOD can not do is force you to make good decisions. If God forces us to make only the right decisions then we are no longer free.
What if the Government was to pass a new law taking away all forms of free agency but the result would be peace in our country....would you fight or go along?

The only answer that is a TRUE answer is that God has said
"I am a jealous God" God has said simply that he requires our devotion and love. Do we not expect devotion from our wife? Do we not expect respect from our children. Just as we create life and expect that life to respect us, so does God.
And why not? What will it profit a man if he gains the whole earth and looses his own soul to idol worship?
