Roman Catholicism is the single largest religious denomination, with over one billion people.

Other forms of Christianity put the world's Christian population above two billion.

In the Western world, Christianity/Catholism is probably the most popular, but Islam is the most growing religion in the world.

Many are called Christians but they are not: Christian are the one that follow and do what Jesus did.

So I believe the number one religion is Hypocrisy

There are approximately 2 Billion Christians worldwide. There are currently 1.1 Billion Catholic Christians. Simple math will now reveal the answer.


P.S. ADDITION: for the one above stating Catholicism is the largest denomination.... the Catholic Church is not a denomination...it is the Church. After the Protestant Reformation, the protestants split and divided as they continue to do today...into denominations... or divisions. God Bless you all.

That mean Susie. Just because SOME Muslims are terrorists doesn't mean that all of them are. I'm a Muslim, and I don't do anything bad. Neither does my mom, or pretty much everyone on my mom's side. So many racists out there....it's so sad.

I think it is Christians though.

Christianity is the largest re legion but Islam is on second and it is increasing more rep idly.

An article in Reader?s Digest ?Almanac?, year book 1986, gave the statistics of the increase of percentage of the major religions of the world in half a century from 1934 to 1984. This article also appeared in ?The Plain Truth? magazine. At the top was Islam, which increased by 235%, and Christianity had increased only by 47%.

Christanity is the largest religion in the world followed by Islam. But the number of PRACTICING MUSLIMS is more than Christians. Alham-Du-lillah!
Islam is the FASTEST growing religion in the world. In a report, the number of fastest growing religions in the world were given for the year 1934-1984, No. 1 was Islam, 234%. No.2 was Christanity which was only 45%.

Should be Buddhism, Asia has the largest no. of Buddhist per region. In China alone with a population of abet 1.3 billion, majority are Buddhists, with the exception of Xinjiang which are predominantly Muslim which makes up of 26 million. Taking out other religion, there could be at least 1 billion Buddhist alone in China, excluding other parts of Asia like Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan etc.
