The purpose was to murder 6 million Jews of Europe and to remove the disabled, gay, and elderly as well as any dissenting people. In 1933 approximately 9.5 million Jews lived in Europe comprising 1.7% of the total European population. This number represents more than 60% of the World's Jewish population at that time of an estimated 15.3 million. The majority of Jews in prewar Europe lived in Eastern Europe. The largest was Poland with about 3,000,000 Jews. In Central Europe the largest Jewish population was in Germany with about 525,000 people and Western Europe the largest population was in Great Britain with 300,000. Before the Nazi seizure in 1933 Europe had a diverse set of Jewish cultures. In less than a decade two out of every three Jews would be dead.
The Holocaust itself had no religion as it was not a person, but the perpetrators were Christian and the victims were Jews.
'Involved' as victims or perpetrators?
Many groups fought, but if the Holocaust were to be split into two groups, they would be the victims and the perpetrators.
The victims of the holocaust were mainly the Jews of all nations, Poles, Gypsies, indeed, any race the Germans considered sub-human and non-Aryan. The perpetrators were Hitler and the Nazis.
Yes, the bystanders were (almost certainly) the majority. They were the people who knew or saw what was happening but did nothing: they were neither victims nor perpetrators. It has become fashionable to regard the bystanders as morally even worse than the killers.

Please see the related question below.
The problem is whether the perpetrators are willing to recognize another holocaust as it is forming and occurring. For example, many people point out that the 50 million abortions (just in the U.S.) qualifies as another holocaust. But the perceived benefit (casual sex without responsibility) is so seductive and addictive that the perpetrators would not seriously consider its status as a holocaust.
If you mean the WWII holocaust, mainly Nazi Germany. There were other mass killings around that time: Japan in China, and Stalin in the Soviet Union.
Considering most of the world were bystanders to the Holocaust, this would excuse the actions of those who perpetrated the Holocaust and those who enabled it. So no, you cannot say that they were.
yes, they killed many people. However you can say that it failed as the perpetrators did not complete the job.
