In his Riyadh speech, President Trump described Islam as "one of the world’s great faiths"

Adherents of those 3 religions constitute the majority of religious adherents on earth

  1. Jews are not a majority. Many Jews are also atheists.

  2. 54% is not a majority.

  3. Christian and Muslim popularity are insignificant within the context of history. Prior to the past couple hundred of years, the entire continents of North and South America did not worship the God. There were creatures revered, but they were regarded as aspects part of nature, rather than threatening their followers. Most notably, Coyote as a god of tricks and stories. Asia was primarily Hindu, Jainism, Buddhist, Taoist, and Japan was Shinto, of which there were many, many different Gods who are failable. However, Buddhism lacked a cecntral god at all, instead Buddha was a mere human, and Buddhasativa were benevolent beings about to achieve nirvana, who turned back from bliss in order help others ascend higher in the cycle of reincarnation. (This is where the thing about Buddhist gods having a thousand hands comes from.) You also neglect the period of time Europe was mostly Pagan.

My point being most religions of the world do not worship a single god because he is powerful. They revere a mythological creature and pay respects, but do not assume the Absolute.
