Judaism percentage of worlds population

Answer 1

According to the TIME Almanac 2009:

As of mid-2008, the total Jewish world population was estimated at 15.1 million, or two tenths of one percent (0.2%) of the total world population.

How many of those PRACTICE Judaism is a much more difficult question.
Around 0.25% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to the TIME/Britannica Almanac 2010: the total number of adherents of

Judaism in the world as of mid-2009 was estimated at 15.9 million, or 0.2% (two

tenths of one percent) of the world's total population.

That's the estimated number of those identifying themselves as Jews. How many

of those PRACTICE Judaism is a much more difficult question, but is obviously less

than 0.2%.

Answer 2

About 0.3% - roughly 2 million people in total (prior to WW2, it was nine million or 1.5%).

Of those European nations with more than 50,000 Jews, the UK has around 297,000; France has 493,000; Germany has 200,000; Belarus 215,000; Hungary 90,000; Russia 230,000 and Ukraine has 80,000. The European nation with the lowest recorded number is Slovenia with just 200 - a tenth of the number in Japan.
