Answer 1

Islam is not the largest religion in the world, but it is the fastest growing religion. The largest religion in the world is Christianity. If you break both Christianity and Islam into sects, Roman Catholicism (the largest Christian Group) is still larger than Sunni Islam (the largest Moslem group).

Answer 2

Islam (19%) is larger than Catholicism (17%), the second largest in the world.

But if we put together all Christians, Christianity (33%) is the largest religion in the world.
