Well, 1% of Heortlings being Humakti does not seem outrageous to me - we know there are some clans that are obsessed with the god, so (as Greg says) the mean is skewed compared to the numbers seen in a typical clan.
As for how many join, I'd suggest that the numbers joining Humakt are relatively low at initiation, but are supplemented by those turning to the god in later life. We already know that many resurrectees turn to Humakt, but I'd also reckon on some turning for other reasons ("My beloved wife is dead, I have no reason to live now...") Especially in these turbulent times.
So I'd go with the 1% of Heortlings worship Humakt at any given time.
Cheers,
