There are much, much more atheists in Allah than there are believers in Allah, since less than 25% of the world's population are Muslims, and even then there are "wrong" denominations, so an actual number of "real" Muslims is perhaps 5% of the world's population.
So what ? How is that relevant ? The "wrong" denominations don't disagree on important articles of faith, so their existence doesn't favor atheism.

That's not how the argument goes. There is a large group of people who are theists despite the issue I, therefore there is high probability that they managed to reconcile issue I , which they know exists, with theism.

I didn't say it does. But if a lot of people managed to believe despite the existence of some obstacle O to belief, then there is a high probability that someone among them ratioally reconciled his belief with the obstacle O.
