^ just because it's one of the best selling books doesn't reflect on the popularity of the religion.
You can have a best selling book sure but religion wise christianity is on it's way out.
Yet approximately 90% of the world believes in a god. 31% are Christians. The number of Christians grows each year. If the projected total will reach 3 billion by 2050, there is approximately 1 new Christian every 1.22 seconds for the next 34 years. Proportions expected to be roughly the same. 13% were convinced atheists in 2012. Only 11% in 2015.
People are not convinced with your arguments and/or have sufficient reasons for believing in god in general or being a Christian specifically. Before you whine about appealing to numbers, I am pointing out that perhaps you think too highly of your arguments that you think are so obvious when a ridiculous majority hold a different view--even after 150 years since Origin of the Species.
