I just feel that, with a world population that is around 90% religious, there has to be something beyond death, something more than the cosmic collision of atoms. 6 billion people+ can't be wrong.

Being in the majority doesn't increase the likely hood of being right. In fact, as stint of being the majority view, it is much harder to change people's minds even if it does turn out to be false.
6 Billion people can be wrong. Any number of people can be wrong about any number of things. It's entirely possible that every single person on this planet is wrong about the nature of matter for example.
The whole of the Nazi regime was clearly wrong, but the majority of Germany supported it. (please do not think I am suggesting Nazi Germany has anything to do with religion, I am merely pointing out that something as wrong as the Nazi movement had a huge amount of support)
Sorry for going a bit Godwin there but I couldn't think of a better example.
