Answer 2

#1 religion is (surprise, surprise) Roman Catholic Religion at about 1,955,229,000 members.

Strangely enough, if you count it as religion, atheism is #2 at 1,782,809,000. Muslims come in a decent third at 1,126,325,000 (83% Sunnis, 16% Shi'ites, 1% other).

Here is the problem, There seems to be to many roads marked with Heaven these days.

In Matthew 7:13, 14 instructs us to “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it:. For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find.

Now that’s some scary stuff “few are those who enter by the narrow gate”.

The problem is that the wide gate is marked with Heaven and is labeled under all of the different religions in the world, each one proclaiming that they have the way to eternal life. Why do so many people fall into the trap?

The Word of God is clear on this issue in Ephesians 2:8-9: For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast."

About 6 in 10 Americans, according to a 2005 Harris Poll, believe in the devil and hell, and about 7 in 10 believe in angels, heaven and the existence of miracles and of life after death. A 2006 survey at Baylor University found that 92 percent of respondents believe in a personal God — that is, a God with a distinct set of character traits ranging from “distant” to “benevolent.”
