There are many religions in the world, some of which are not considered organized religions. However, some of the organized religions -- or those that are more mainstream -- are: Islam; Hinduism; Judaism; Sikhism; Catholicism; Baha'i; and many denominations of Christianity including Episcopalian, Protestant, Baptist, and the Church of the Latter Day Saints.
Other religions skirt the mainstream and include Wiccans, Holy Ghost People and Scientology.
The top five religions in the world, in terms of numbers, are: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism.
That would really depend which movements you decide to count as "religion", and which not. Also, how you count them: a movement can be divided into smaller movements. For example: would you count Christianity as a single religion? Or do you consider Catholicism as one religion, and Protestantism as another? Or perhaps as hundreds, or thousands, of religions? While I would consider Christianity as one religion, opinions vary. Another example: Would you count the "Jedi religion" as a religion? At some time, several percent of the population in some country indicated this as their "religion".
