On the numbers game, you are right that the Catholic church has been able to convince other non Catholics to vote for bills like Prop 8 and thus ban same sex marriage. I never said it was the RCC that did anything unfair only that they supported what I feel is bigotry. Anyhow from political perspective it is clearly a numbers game and in the case of same-sex-marriage the numbers favor the RCC position. But on your basic point, of course it doesn't matter if a million people believe in a specific myth or only a handfull.
There is no proof for god and only a complete moron would say there is. You give a far out BS example of an event that never has occured. There is no such thing or paradigm as the supernatural. Everything that is is 'natural' by definition. Thus the supernatural is just accepts of nature that are unknown or not well understood.
Thus if there is a god the acts of this god are NOT supernatural but just natural acts by this god. If your BS example was to actually occur than it would then be part nature and of course I would accept it as such. Now I would admit to being shocked and full of wonder. But this is different than reading some old book and believing a bunch of myths because mommy and daddy tells one they are truths.
