Why does Christianity have more followers than any other religion?

Because it's the most believable.\n\nAlso because during ancient times missonaries were sent out from Europe all over the globe to spread "the good news." It just stuck.

I'm not totally sure why people don't join Christianity. But- I think it might have something to do with it contradicting itself constantly. Another reason might be because people like Evangelicals preach messages of Christ's love-only to turn around and use the Bible to perpetuate xenophobic ideals.

Much of the christian world is in the dark about islam. Christianity is not a religion that accepts those who do not believe in the same religion. Too many people know too little about other religions, and than make ignorant statements about what they do not know.

Because the more who prays the stronger the Faith.

In ancient times, there were religions way before Christianity came along. They all had many god/goddesses. And then Christianity came along and basically killed or wiped out anyone who wouldn't be forced to believe in one god.  It doesn't make it right.  It also means that there are other religions out there.  It al has to do with what's in your heart and soul.  Nobody else matters.

Simple answer:\n\nAll religions (except Biblical Christianity) teach that one can reach God on their own merit by performing certain rituals or ceremonies and generally being "good." \n\nChristianity teaches that there is nothing you can do to get to God and that your own merit falls far short of reaching God. The others teach man reaching to God. Christianity teaches God reaching to man.\n\nThose are the similarities.\n\nhope this helps.

Christians are very ignorant of other faiths.  I suppose because they're been raised to think that theirs is the only true faith and that everyone else needs to be converted to Christianity.\n\nIt's getting better though.

Then they are not really Christians. Where do you think most of the people in churches come from? Those who did not know Jesus. And how did they meet him? By people how have met him. So if Christians keep themselves from non Christians, then who are they going show the love of God to? Jesus did not only hang in the temple, he also hung with people from all over. Some who worshiped false gods and some who worshiped no god. But after meeting him, they were never the same. So I say again, if a Christian is so closed minded as to not let their children play with another child who believes something different from them, they have little to no faith. God knows how to keep who is his, so there should be no fear or judgment of another.

Well i seriously  would have to argue the whole hinduism buddhism thing. But none the less... Christains spread there relegeon not only because  they feel the need to share the truth with people. but also scripture teachs that if you love Christ you will feed his sheep which is to say share his word with those who do not know him.I pray someday you too will come to know Jesus. May God bless you

There are many people like that in the world today. And I don't see any larger following they would have. So why should Jesus be any different?

Lets take it further. There is only one belief system in the world whose God humbled himself, came to earth, and suffered & died for his followers. And that is why Christianity stands apart from the rest and makes it so unique. See, the other gods demand, demand, demand. But Christianity's God loves and gives and blesses!

Because religion is all about social control , money and power.\nAll religions want to increase their market share just like any other business.

Christianity is not being flushed down the toilet. It is simply becoming more socially acceptable to voice your oppinions against relgion. There are still a great many Christians out there, and a great many non-believers. However, in modern times, it is unacceptable to persecute non-believers and therefor they live to pass their beliefs on to their children rather than being burned or drowned or hunted to extinction. Christianity will never die, nor will those who oppose its teachings.\nIf you were referring to why so many people stray from Christianity that look at our society. Christians are one of the largest religious affiliations out there. The more people you have, the greater the odds that you will find "bad" people within that group. Despite my personal religious beliefs I refuse to affiliate myself with any church because I do not wish to be lumped in with the Sunday-morning Christians you find in all of them. If the Christian faiths want to attract more people they should take a break from preaching to the unbelievers and try preaching to their own corrupt followers for a change. There are millions of good Christians out there but it only takes one hypocrite to give the entire group a bad reputation.

"Traditional" christians are usually quieter in expressing their faith....they are less outspoken, and just live their lives according to their beliefs. They do not tend to "share" their faith. This does not mean they are less devoted than "evangelical" christians who are more expressive, and who do believe in sharing the faith with others. Both can be equally devout, and believe in the same doctrines, but just express in different ways. Cults are typically complete deviations from accepted doctrines.

Because it is one of the largest and most publicized religions.

They believe in other gods. If you see, the most prosperous countries believe in God, The Christian One.
