I think, or attempt to, despite the limitations of my mind. I try to diminish the effects of these limitations by being careful with my language; paying attention to the difference between "there is" and "there are" for example.
Most of us, being human, make the assumption that everyone thinks the way we do. This is a sort of biological problem, according to Andrew Newberg, in "Why We Believe What We Believe." I, as an agnostic, tend to think that everyone has questions about God and faith and that sort of thing.
I may be wrong. I'm sure that you can find statistical data on atheism and faith somewhere on the web, but pay attention to who's publishing it.

A lot more people are atheists or so called pagans. This christian stuff is localized so if you are in one of the areas where its prevalent it seems like it must be every where.
If you add up the numbers of people who practice christian religion and subtract them from the worlds total population you will see what I mean.

A great apostasy is to occur as one of the signs of the times before the return of the Lord in all His glory. The Devil is constantly at work for he knows his time is short. The great beast in the book of revelation has been at work for some time. freemasonry hidden is responsible for the secular society which gives greater importance to itself than the Word of God who is Jesus.

I think the majority of people are not committed to any religion. But in the UK, if you stopped people in the street and insisted on an answer, then I'm sure the majority would admit to being Christian..
