Argumentum ad populum. Just because a majority believes something to be true, unifying them all as you put it, does not mean that what they believe is true. It is possible for a majority to share the same delusion, especially when that delusion is indoctrinated from generation to generation for thousands of years.

You mean like evolution is being indoctrinated into today's youth.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
