According to statistics, 33% of the world believe in Christianity. That's a huge figure that is! In fact, using logic we can come to the conclusion Christianity is the true religion of God because it has the most adherents. See how flawed logic is? Do we say God exists because there are more theists than atheists? Since you're such a master in logic, isn't that what you should believe?

Wow. Just wow.
Unfortunately Christianity likely isn't the most practiced religion in the world. That honor probably goes to Buddhism, but since the Chinese government refuses to acknowledge religion or allow any surveys to be done to find out how many of the more than a billion Chinese people are practicing Buddhists (although what studies have been done working around the government have indicated that it's pretty much all of them...), we'll never really know, will we?
Russ is right, if you count all denominations of Christianity as "true Christians" which I doubt he does. Otherwise, the most widely practiced religion is Islam followed closely by Catholicism. [this all according to WikiAnswers]
Word salad. Logic fail. Various awards. Religion doesn't work that way. Statistics don't mean what you think they do. Really, what the fuck is this guy smoking?
Edit: The two single largest religions practiced in the world are Roman Catholicism (which most protestants don't count as part of christianity), and Sunni Islam. Buddhism is probably a close third, but we can't really get accurate statistics from communist nations in the Far East.

One third is not a majority of the people on earth. This is a huge pile of fail, this is!
Logic is not a popularity contest, stupid. Logic might say that most people apparently like to have a safety blanket in their life, well into adulthood, a pacifier against all scary stuff. The ones who are strong enough to face the reality manages without safety blankets, pacifiers and imaginary friends.
Most people in India are Hindus. As India is the second largest country in the world, population-wise, it seems like Shiva is the true god, along with all his friends.
And once upon a time, 100 percent of people believed the world was flat.
Just because a belief is popular doesn't make it true. Actually a lot of the things most people believe in are dead wrong.
that argument is not logic. That argument is the exact opposite of logic.
Ah, but Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. Does that mean Islam is currently wrong but will be right when the number of its adherents surpasses those of Christianity? No, because even if all the people in the world believe in something irrational and unprovable, it is still irrational and unprovable.
Confused?
