when you ask a Muslim or a Christian what religion they are they tell you the truth, when you ask a jew most lie for whatever reason, so figure there are 40 million more jews than reported.

its amazing that Scientology has 500k already

No there are more Muslims than Catholics which is the largest branch of Christianity.

**Antonio** · 05-06-2009, 08:24 AM

Religion = conflict, division, and hatred.

I've always been with #3 as well, but just for fun I think I'll start my own fake religion soon, just to see if I can beat 500K.

I couldn't care less

**Matyko** · 05-06-2009, 12:23 PM

Jah Rastafari!
btw what the hell? scientology on the list ??? ??? Thats a cult, not a religion...

**devine** · 05-06-2009, 12:41 PM

ha ha, when they "made up" the list they forgot something: without counting smaller religions not in the list, the sum of the list is more than total Earth population. And the sources are a Christian page, some list supposed to be from Encyclopedia Britannica (which isn't consistent with the data they display, as we're at it) and a random web page made for fun

Motherfucking Thor will destroy them all!

**BradM** · 05-06-2009, 12:43 PM

Where is Pastafarian?

**devine** · 05-06-2009, 12:46 PM

btw, the sum for that list is 6867.7 millions. Estimated population for July 2009 (yes, still 2 months ahead) is 6,790,062,216 according to https://www.cia.gov/library/publicat.../print/xx.html . IN that same page you can see the religions of the world:

Religions:
Christians 33.32% (of which Roman Catholics 16.99%, Protestants 5.78%, Orthodox 3.53%, Anglicans 1.25%), Muslims 21.01%, Hindus 13.26%, Buddhists 5.84%, Sikhs 0.35%, Jews 0.23%, Baha'is 0.12%, other religions 11.78%, non-religious 11.77%, atheists 2.32% (2007 est.)

You may not like CIA, but I bet they have better info than a random page made for fun
