... of others, it seems to me, is preferable to proselytizing any particular religion, belief or "creator", Brian.

... and you may be surprised to learn that Christians make up approximately 1/3 of the world's population (roughly 2 billion) and that nearly half that many of the world's people (850 million) consider themselves some version of non-religious.

Combining Christians, Moslems and Jews (all of whom believe in more or less the same god), still leaves about 2.5 billion people (roughly 40% of the world's population) who do not believe in "your" creator.

Totals reported on that site for each of the world's major religions are:

1. Christianity: 2 billion
2. Islam: 1.3 billion
3. Hinduism: 900 million
4. Secular/Nonreligious/Agnostic/Atheist: 850 million
5. Buddhism: 360 million
6. Chinese traditional religion: 225 million
7. primal-indigenous: 150 million
8. African Traditional & Diasporic: 95 million
9. Sikhism: 23 million
10. Juche: 19 million
11. Spiritism: 14 million
12. Judaism: 14 million
13. Baha'i: 6 million
14. Jainism: 4 million
15. Shinto: 4 million
16. Cao Dai: 3 million
17. Tenrikyo: 2.4 million
18. Neo-Paganism: 1 million
19. Unitarian-Universalism: 800 thousand
20. Scientology: 750 thousand
21. Rastafarianism: 700 thousand
22. Zoroastrianism: 150 thousand

Frankly, I don't even know what some of these are, but the numbers of non-Christians are, at the very least, statistically significant.
