There are more Christians in the world than any other religion, by far.

Christianity has 2.1 billion adherents, and this number is growing rapidly - especially in China and the rest of the far east.

Next comes Islam with 1.5 billion, Hinduism (0.9 billion - or 900 million), Chinese traditional religions (394 million) and Buddhism (376 million).

Further down the list are tribal religions (several) at 300 million, African tribal and traditional religions at 100 million, Sikhism at 23 million, Spiritualism at 15 million and Judaism at around 14 million.

The so-called 'religion' of Juche - the only official 'religion' in the communist totalitarian state of North Korea is not really a religion as such but an ideology made official by the government there to control the population and to ensure liegence to the state. IOt has 19 million adherents, but these are not adherents by choice but because of a degree of compulsion made by the state.

All other religions (eg baha'i, Jainism, Rastafarianism etc) have fewer adherents than this.
