LOL. Do you realize that there is no one church known as the Eastern Orthodox Church? They believe in the concept of more than one church and have maintained such, although they have apparently lost sight of the city church concept. They also would reject the LDS structure of having a President / Prophet over one church. Do you have a reference for the statistic that there are more Eastern Orthodox members than Protestants and Catholicism combined? I'm skeptical but I don't have time right now to check out the veracity of this statistic. By the way, I agree with your argument that believers partake of the divine nature. I think your argument would be stronger by appealing to Scripture rather than the Eastern Orthodox tradition. 2 Peter 1:4 (4) Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
