It didn't seem very many checked that. I was certainly exaggerating a little for comic effect, and agree there's no way you can say that definitively :)

I suspect people are prone to say that, not because they think definitely think Christianity has had more effect than Islam, but to emphasise how much of Christianity was due to Paul. (I deliberately made that option "maybe" rather than "was")
