There are probably more Catholics in Ottawa than Unitarians on planet earth.
And yes, numbers count, obviously, or we wouldn't even be talking about gay mariage. If polls showed ninety percent disapproved Paul Martin would be out there defending traditional marriage.
As for the numbers, there are about one and a half billion Catholics, and slightly less Muslims. Do the math.

I respectfully disagree, I'm not going to get into the whole "Martin flip flopped" thing, but on the numbers thing I really think you're wrong, of course numbers matter as far as public perception, but what I was saying was in a group of 100 people the 99 who believe one thing have no right to tell the 1 what he can/cannot believe.
