How many followers of Confucianism are in the world?
As published worldwide, number of Confucianism followers in the world as of 2009 is more than 6 million people (around 0.1 % of world population. Refer to link below.
Answer 2While only around 6 million people actually identify as Confucianist, that is a misleading statistic. Unlike the popular monotheistic religions (Christianity and Islam), the Eastern Religions are commonly practiced in tandem. A person may perform Buddhist rites and Confucian rites or they may be religiously Shinto but ethically Confucianist, etc. Most people who follow Shenism, also called Chinese Folk Religions, which constitute roughly 400 million people, also follow Confucianism as an ethical system of behavior to accompany the Shenist spiritual beliefs. However, since they are not "religiously" Confucianist, but "religiously" Shenist, they are often excluded from counts of Confucian adherents. If all people who actually follow Confucianism in any form are counted, it would be roughly 700 million people.

Why are there more Christians than Muslims?
Answer 1
It may be because Christianity started 640 years before Islam.
Answer 2
Well, more people believe in Christianity because it is much more easier to practice it than to practice Islam. A true Muslim accepts many restrictions on his likes, dislikes, interests, earning his living, spending his earnings etc. He must speak truth in all situations. He must be tolerant, friendly, helpful, accommodating, sincere and loving to all. He must obey Almighty Allah (God) in letter and spirit. A true Muslims must do good deeds to please Almighty Allah. No recommendation, NOT even by the holy Prophet (SAW) can save him without the sweet Will of Almighty. But the Christians believe that mere belief in Jesus Christ may entitle them to enter Paradise without good deeds. Perhaps hat is why they are more in number. Though true Muslims are as rare to be found as are the Christians.
Answer 3
This is more of an accident of history than anything else. Christianity became the dominant religion of Europe while Islam became the dominant religion of the Middle East, North, Africa, and swathes of Asia. When Europe conquered the Americas, they transplanted a Christian population there as well as converting many Native Americans. Additionally, medical advances in Europe led to large population growth. Currently, the trend is shifting as the Developing World (where Islam is dominant) has the same medical care as the Christian-majority world, but much higher birth rates.
