"And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness" (1 John 5:19). Not a good commentary on the first century world but things hasn't changed much between here and there. The phrase "lieth in wickedness" can mean "lies under the sway of the wicked one" or "in the power of the wicked one" or "under the control of the devil." How true that is. The masses never have followed God for very long. Only a few will be saved (Matt. 7:13-14).
