Please, playing games with statistics is absurd coming from the sort of people who base their contraceptive claims on Scripture being silent therefore granting them “Christian Liberty”, but who at the same time insist that Christ never saying anything in the Septuagint shouldn't be included in the Septuagint is meaningless.

For example, how is "Protestant" now not too broad a brush when it enlarges the pool someone wants to compare to Catholics but far too broad a brush to use when someone points out anything that isn't easy to manipulate away with a calculator and the right sample set? How convenient, apply a little of the "Christian Liberty Grease" and slip right past the two thirds or more of all abortions the majority of Evangelicals do approve of and look only at the third or less that weren't done quietly with a proper application of "Christian Liberty Grease". Sure, they have no problem saying those tacky people who waited too long to take a morning after are having bad and nasty abortions since they should have just sucked down the right pill every day and not made a public spectacle of murdering their own child.

Roughly one quarter of the population claim to be Catholic, half of them because they were baptized as a child and for no other reason, than any other Christian group. Another ten percent of the population claims to have once been Catholic. And for some reason someone is supposed to be surprised that out of roughly a hundred and ten million people there more sinners who have fallen away when tempted, ceased to live a Christian life, and otherwise proved what Scripture says regarding the wheat and the tares than there are good examples of their faith?

I'm not the least bit surprised, in fact, I feel sure Satan works much, much, harder to have Catholic folks fall from a state of Grace than he does to convince those who already go along to get along precariously balancing on the razor's of a Christian walk anyway.

Those folks are on the razor's edge because they've fallen for the Self Alone heresy which makes them easy pickings for Satan. They've already accepted the same lie Satan told Eve, so he can convince another cool ten million of them to drop their cross and follow their own path rather than Christ just by funding a new Self Alone Prosperity Gospel Televangelist tomorrow. He sets a few million of them at a time on the path to their own destruction then gets back to what takes real effort, trying to pry faithful Christian hard cases in the Catholic Church, Southern Baptist Churches, conservative Lutheran Churches, and all other faithful Christian churches, away from Christ.

What's really hateful is ignoring people marching to Hell because it's easier to go along to get along than to carry a cross and pretending that if the truth might make someone uncomfortable it's better to let them go to Hell.
