I won't just assume it's true because you say so.
It doesn't matter who or how many believe it. It doesn't make it any more true. A lie is a lie, even if everyone believed it.
Also beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the universe is beautiful to us, but in reality, it is a really deadly place for beings like us. I don't need a belief in god to see the beauty of the cosmos.
I doubt that, but if that was true, it makes no difference. Numbers count for nothing. It doesn't matter how many believe in a god, if it's false, it's false.
I'll just give an analogy,
1000s of years ago there were a group of scientists who claimed that the earth was not flat and was not the center of the universe, it was in fact just another planet rotating around the sun in an orderly fashion.
It wasn't until 1900s this was verified mathematically and 1950s was verified visually with satellites..
Same thing, if you are lucky you can wait until the second coming of Jesus or when another prophecy of this religion comes true in order to accept God...
until then, stay safe in these uncertain and godless times....
