OOOOOH! So you think the majority does determine truth!

Jenny, you do not believe in any God. Who determines your truth and why?
Your statement is ‘your’ question…

Truth exists apart from my beliefs. As a practical matter, I rely on the evidence of my senses, logical induction from that evidence validated by later experience (the scientific method), and sometimes I even rely on the word of people I trust. And sometimes I even make educated guesses. But regardless, the objective Truth is out there; it's up to me to keep improving my ability to discern what it is.

So what? This threadlet started with you telling me to move to China because my beliefs only comprise 6% of the population here. I'm sure that in 1938, 6% of Germans believed that the Jews weren't getting a fair shake.
