I'm sure lots of people would believe in the religions if they were resurrected, but I bet it would be way less people than currently.

I think Islam would suffer the biggest hit. Because many people in North America/Europe have read the bible and believe it based on readings...but I feel like the majority of people in Islamic countries haven't even read the Quaran, but believe in Islam based on it being the only option in their country... and how there is no separation between church and state in places like the middle east.

That made sense in my head, but I'm not sure if you'll get what I mean.

@ BOLD

Actually, I could argue that it's the complete opposite. In addition to the usual reading, Muslims recite verses from the Quran at least 5 time a day during prayers. Not to mention, the thousands, if not millions, who have memorized it entirely from cover to cover some of which who are 10 years old or even illiterate.


The second part of your post is more what I was talking about. I've heard that a lot of Islamic people in the middle eastern countries are illiterate and therefore their only knowledge of the Quaran is what they've been told by their teachers and religious leaders, not knowledge they've gained through their own personal readings. 

I'm sure this occurs in all religions, but since many Islamic people are African/Middle Eastern I feel like it would be a more widespread issue.
