30/40, depends on how loosely you categorize them.
A critique of the critique of the wager: Faith has only recently been non-selfish. See the way the Greeks/Romans worshipped. For them, religion was mostly about keeping the gods happy so they didn't smite you.

Some people don't understand what you mean.
Christians sometimes proffer Pascal’s Wager (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_wager ) suggesting to non-believers that they should accept Jesus (per John 3:16) as some sort of insurance policy against hell, just in case it turns out god really exists. The fallacy with this line of reasoning is that faith in god for some reward or to avoid punishment is not faith at all. It is a selfish act to receive something in return for a belief. The point of religious belief so that one can beome a better person, not to receive a reward or please a spiritual being.
