Matthew 7:13-14
Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
Conventional wisdom is powerful. We tend to think that whatever most people do is most likely to be the right thing, whatever the majority of people think is probably correct. If it's suggested that we might be wrong on something we take comfort in the fact that others believe the same thing as us. But what if the majority is wrong? What if the conventional view that God probably exists but it doesn't matter much is wrong? What if the prevailing view that there can't just be one way to God is untrue?
The truth of a particular statement is independent of the number of people who agree with it. Look for truth, but don't just go along with the crowd.
