Thousands, perhaps millions. It would be impossible to count.

For one thing, the difference between "religion" and "denomination" is fuzzy. Is Animism a religion, or is every different form of Animism a different religion? Would you say the Ancient Greek religion was the same as the Ancient Roman because they shared most of the gods? Or would you allow for the local differences from city to city as "different religions"?

There are many defunct religions that are no longer practised. We couldn't possibly count how many of those there were, particularly those that died out before the invention of writing.
