Wooow who's been doing their research!!:thumbsup

no way that theres only 14 million jews....

how many undecided ?

I have to say I do not believe there are only 14 million jews and I really find it hard to believe there is 600,000 scientologists

I thought we had converted everyone to Christianity by now?

Damn, this sure is a slow process.

I can believe there are 600,000 scientologists, hell must at least 200,000 of' em in Hollywood alone.:Graucho

I know I was bumbed out.

Shit I wasn't even aware of half the religions on the list.

the other half is here in Tampa>.

Ranked in #4

Catholic 968,000,000
Protestant 395,867,000
Other Christians 275,583,000
Orthodox 217,948,000
Anglicans 70,530,000


To say catholics and protestants are of the same religion seems like stretching it...

missed that... im one 1 of them, still shopping around for best religion :1orglaugh

Close enough, they get along together just fine in Ireland don't they? :)

wtf is "Juche"

It has 19 million followers?

edit: I googled it and learnt that it appears to be some North Korean communist crap??? Communists and religeon? hmmm

i'm a Rastafarian

whats the dif between catholics and protestants ??

serious Q

Then you need to include :rasta with every post out of respect for your beliefs.

I bet you spent a lot of time just to come up with that!:winkwink:

In a nutshell, I think protestants broke away from the Catholics.
I think Henry VIII started it in the 1500's or so.

Protestants don't believe in the virgin birth among other things.

don't quote me on this :)

Undecided my ass! I'm a confirmed SecularNonreligiousAgnosticAthiest :winkwink:

I'm sure at least 1/4 of the Christians are atheists. They just pretend or say they are Christian.:2 cents:

They are all 100% cults.

by bad

to clearify things
i'm a Judian-Budha-Rastafarian :rasta :rasta

True. They are supposed to teach you about life, but they usually just end up getting in the way and stopping you from finding out by yourself :glugglug

Some left out religions, although I have no comprehension of their follower numbers:

Ásatrú
Cosmotheism
Druzism

Paganism rocks!:Graucho

That's a lot Scientologists paying for those "clearing" therapies :2 cents:

dunno about religion

i belive in a creator.

Thats what I thought to
again dont quote me either im no expert on western religions but I believe Henry VIII started the Church of England because he wanted a divorce from one of his many wives (the others he beheaded) and the pope would not grant it

so he started his own church with the king of England as the head (IE himself) so he could make the new rules as he went along.

Think you forgot (vodoo - voodooism) that is a religion...
