Indeed, the fact that there are a very small percentage of other religions next to the prevalent local ones doesn't mean anything. If one religion was actually true, you'd expect to see it everywhere. If there was a little bit of truth to each, to the point where it could actually be a matter of opinion, you'd expect to see some sort of uniform spread. But you don't, you see people generally following what they have been indoctrinated into. Big surprise.
100 people can't all be the 2 who would have turned out Christian in a Muslim country, or whatever.
It's a good point about "faith", my personal bugbear. It treats any sort of introspection as "doubt" and shames it. You must be certain! It's so dangerous. Being wrong is part of being human, especially when you've been reliant on others for information.
