                                                                      1) Commonly Accepted Data:  Here's a rough estimate of common statistics on Earth's people who do or do not adhere to various religions:    Christianity 32%,  Islam 25%, Hinduism 15%, Buddhism 5%, Nonreligious 19%, and Other 4%.  I see myself in the other category.  Some break it down further between Protestants and Catholics, Shia and Sunni Muslims, Judaism, Chinese folk religions, Zen, tribal, liberals and conservatives, and so forth.
