You don't seem to be getting this. If you're claiming that most people hold a theistic belief, then yes, that claim is not extraordinary, it's easily illustrated with statistics. We're saying that the claims they make about their deity are extraordinary, and it doesnt matter how many of them make the claims.
No, you're not getting this. I understand your subjective opinion, I hold the same subjective view.
Objectively speaking, it is not extraordinary. I do not question people who claim to experience love, even though I cannot prove their exact experience.
