If you think the belief system you currently identify with has a solid majority on this planet, well think again! When I used to be Christian I assumed the majority of the people worldwide believed in it, when it turns out to be only 1/3. It seemed like Christianity was the majority because it does claim 76% of Americans, which I am one. However, this may point out that your faith tends to be based upon your location, rather than whether or not it's actually true. This is just more food for thought.
