Actually it's about all kinds of people. Your reading is seriously impaired.
No amount of your "ad populum" fallacy will convince anyone.
There is not a shred of evidence that they all buy into the SAME gods.
YOU yourself can't even tell us what god you worship.
I don't think God requires worship. I think worshipping God makes people feel good because they are so grateful to God. We all perceive God in the way that makes the most sense to us, and our beliefs are all very similar.

"Theists" like to hand wave and say, "Well, it's all just 'God'. Different religions just have different details, but it's all the same one."
Well. If you compare the narrative of say, Jehovah and Zeus, you would realize these are NOT the same being. If they are the same creature then either
A-This being presents itself in such different ways to different people it must have split personality disorder. Or if intentional, it is being maliciously deceptive.
or B-People get the details *so* wrong it is impossible to know anything at all about this being.

You claimed an article said something it didn't.
Can you be more specific? And even if that were true, that does not make me "willfully ignorant in science and other subjects"

Huh, imagine that. Where I live about a third of the population reports as being religious. I guess my city might be an anomaly. Pretty lucky to live where so many people have seen the light. 
Being religious and having a belief in God or a higher power are not considered the same thing by most people. I am not religious, for example.

Yet you just tried to use the 93 % argument including yourself .... how dishonest is that ?

We are already in that sort of hell. And what we are certain about is a creator God, eternal life, a soul that exists outside the body, and reward/redemption. And we all (Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Judaists, Jainists, Scientologists and most New Agers) agree on those things, the only differences lying in the physical location that the redemption will take place.
I know a few Christians, Jews, and Muslims who would beg to differ lol

Oh, I don't think your beliefs are very similar to mine, Everena. I see your god as a fictional character.
