Yes, there are at least a quarter billion practicing Buddhists in the world. Though Buddhism does not evangelize the way Christianity does throughout the west, it is alive and well. One could even argue that Buddhism can never really die out. It is the religion of thought and reflection, not faith and dogma. As long as there are free thinking individuals there will always be Buddhists, even if they don't call themselves that.
