Like the Apostles, with a great sense of urgency, we should try to spread the Truth everywhere because this is what Jesus asked us to do in Matthew 28:19 "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit". That's why I care about numbers, not in a sense to say my Religion is the biggest and most popular, but to ask my self is my Religion (who holds the Truth) doing everything possible to convert as many people as possible? Because this is what Jesus asked us to do. In the end how many will be saved only God knows...all we can do is try to help Him save as many as possible. You're forgetting a crucial point, and one which others on this thread have made: that of
human free will
which will either accept or reject what an Orthodox Christian has to say. Even the Apostles had this problem, there is nothing new under the sun, and we also have the parable of the Sower: You can lead a horse to the living Water, but it's up to the horse if it wants to drink ...
