Well, obviously the majority is often wrong on technical points - the Earth is flat, the sun revolves around the Earth, malaria is caused by bad air, humans can't travel more than 30 mph, etc, etc.

These examples all refer to objective truths that don't change just because more or less people believe them. The Earth is round no matter what people say. This is easy for people to understand.

Where you take the next step is realizing that some principles of human behavior and the workings of society, morality and economics operate the same way.

It's a big mistake to assume that objective standards of morality demand a religion.
