	2,000,000,000	1,000,000,000*2
3461. murias, moo-ree´-as; from 3463; a ten-thousand; by extension, a “myriad” or indefinite number:—ten thousand If the Greek word "murias" translated to the word thousand is interpreted as ten thousand the product [2 (duo) * 100,000 (murias) * 10,000 (marias)] is equal to 2 billion, which is the approximate number of followers associated with some form of the physical organized Christian religion.
