Eh, not quite. It's not a fallacy to say, "I am justified in believing X about Jesus because 99% of experts  in the relevant field also believe X about Jesus." You're probably thinking about the fallacy known as Appeal to Unqualified Authority, which would be more like, "I am justified in believing X about Jesus because 70% of marine biologists also believe X about Jesus," a fallacy I have not committed.

You are simply declaring them experts, but intellectual expertise is not gained by having some letters after your name, but because you actually follow credible methods and acknowledge the evidence that actually exists.  Scientists don't make science.  It's science that makes scientists.  Scientists are only scientists so long as they are doing science.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.
