Answer 1It may be because Christianity started 640 years before Islam.Answer 2Well, more people believe in Christianity because it is much more easier to practice it than to practice Islam. A true Muslim accepts many restrictions on his likes, dislikes, interests, earning his living, spending his earnings etc. He must speak truth in all situations. He must be tolerant, friendly, helpful, accommodating, sincere and loving to all. He must obey Almighty Allah (God) in letter and spirit. A true Muslims must do good deeds to please Almighty Allah. No recommendation, NOT even by the holy Prophet (SAW) can save him without the sweet Will of Almighty. But the Christians believe that mere belief in Jesus Christ may entitle them to enter Paradise without good deeds. Perhaps hat is why they are more in number. Though true Muslims are as rare to be found as are the Christians.Answer 3This is more of an accident of history than anything else. Christianity became the dominant religion of Europe while Islam became the dominant religion of the Middle East, North, Africa, and swathes of Asia. When Europe conquered the Americas, they transplanted a Christian population there as well as converting many Native Americans. Additionally, medical advances in Europe led to large population growth. Currently, the trend is shifting as the Developing World (where Islam is dominant) has the same medical care as the Christian-majority world, but much higher birth rates.

AnswerGenuine followers of the Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) do believe in God. Of course, there is no real way of knowing how many followers of those faiths do not really believe in God and are only followers for cultural, social or family reasons, or because they think it is more 'respectable' to be a follower.
