Falun Gong is the fastest growing on Earth...\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falun_Gong\n\nChristianity has surpassed Islam...\nhttp://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=44033\nexcerpt...\n"The growing core of Christianity crosses theological lines and includes 707 million born-again people who are increasing by 8 percent a year," he says. \nSo fast is this group growing that, under current trends, according to Rutz, the entire world will be composed of such believers by the year 2032.\n\nThe more Islam persecutes Christians, the faster it will grow! History has proved this true.

The Mormon Church has the most up to date registry of most of the people in the U.S.. Also, I believe that the Buear \n(s) of Indians might be able to help you. Go to Yahoo Search and see what you can find.\nHave a nice day.

It's not Buddhism because there are Buddhist warriors. Look it up. I would have to say the most peaceful religion is the one that no one practices.

I am in Bath, England and I can tell you, the main religion in this country is Christian (Prosestant), with a large number of Catholics also. We also have a massive Islamic community, particularly in the cities. The other religions you see here are Hebrew, Buddist (particularly in the South and London) and Jewish.\n\nHope this helps!

Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Islam, Catholicism, and Protestantism.\n\nI believe however that most people are what is sometimes called Chinese Traditional Religion, which is a mixture of beliefs from Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, as well as local worship practices and beliefs, including ancestor worship and so on.  394 million are said to be Chinese Traditional Religion.

None.\n\nHence why there is no such thing as the so-called "Muslim World." Muslims are every where.\n\nNote: for the record, there ARE Muslims in Australia. About 300,000 of them:\nhttp://www.dfat.gov.au/facts/islam_in_australia.html\n\nAlso from Wikipedia:\n"Only 18% of Muslims live in the Arab world; 20% are found in Sub-Saharan Africa, about 30% in the South Asian region of Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, and the world's largest single Muslim community (within the bounds of one nation) is in Indonesia. There are also significant Muslim populations in China, Europe, Central Asia, and Russia.\n\nFrance has the highest Muslim population of any nation in Western Europe, with up to 6 million Muslims (10% of the population [7]). Albania is said to have the highest proportion of Muslims as part of its population in Europe (70%), although this figure is only an estimate (see Islam in Albania). The number of Muslims in North America is variously estimated as anywhere from 1.8 to 7 million."

Estimates vary.  One reason for this is that there is really a methodological debate about the lines between "religions."  For example, does one count all of Christianity as one religion, or are the different major traditions (Protestant, Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Assyrian, Nestorian, Mormon, Coptic, Anabaptist, etc.) each separate religions, or are the individual denominations within those traditions (e.g., within Protestantism, the literally thousands of individual sects) "religions"?  Is Islam one religion, or are Sunni and Shi'a separate religions?  Is Buddhism one religion, or are Mahayana and Theravada traditions separate, or are the different Mahayana sects all different religions?--you see my point.\n\nSound complicated?  It only gets worse.  Because there is no one universal definition of what is and what is not a religion.  Are only "organized" religions included (official, self-declared sects)?  Or what about spiritual systems that are not organized in that way?  What about belief systems that are para-religious, like "agnosticism" or "secular humanism" or state-sponsored cults like the Juche belief system of North Korea, or the "cult of the Republic" of the United States whose religious holidays you might be observing without even noticing it on Memorial Day?\n\nHere's a safe rule of thumb:  by even conservative estimates, there are probably over 1,000 religions in the world today.  That doesn't count the vast numbers of religions that have largely disappeared from the past.  And by other estimates, the totals are closer to 20,000.  Now remember, many of those faiths might have relatively few adherents, compared to enormous sects like, say, Roman Catholicism within Christianity or Shi'a in Islam, but that's still quite a total--and even that doesn't include the enormous number of people who have essentially personal, idiosyncratic spiritual belief systems.\n\nGood luck working this question out.  But the important thing to know is this:  anyone telling you there's only One True Faith is not going to help you answer this question, because your question is about information-seeking, and that answer is about bigotry and proselytizing.  That may be mandatory in some faiths, but it's not very educationally helpful in understanding the family of world religions.  I would encourage you to check out the sites below to learn more about other faiths.

Possibly but mostly by people of other religions.

A pagan one. :-P Pagan religions were the majority until Christianity came along.

The United States is overwhelmingly Christian with Protestant denominations making up the majority at 52%, followed by Roman Catholics (24%), Mormon (1%), Jewish (1%), Muslim (1%), other (10%), and none (variously estimated at from 10% to 15%).[47] The country is also noteworthy for its relatively high level of religiosity among developed nations. About 38% of Americans say they attend religious services at least once a week,[58] and 53% of Americans consider religion to be very important in their lives, as compared to 16% in Britain, 14% in France, and 13% in Germany.[59]

I imagine that you could find Muslims in just about every culture.  There are lots of countries where Muslims make up the majority, or a large minority.  Indonesia has the largest Muslim population.  There are distinct Muslim cultures in China, India, and in many African countries.\n\nSee this link:\n\nhttp://www.aneki.com/muslim.html\n\nThere are Sunni Muslims, which is the majority.  There are also Shi'ites who have a huge population in Iran.  The Kurds have a distinctive Islamic culture.\n\nI hope this helps at least a little!\n\n\nHere's another cool site, showing different Muslim cultures in Africa:\nhttp://www.islamonline.net/English/In_Depth/MuslimAfrica/index.shtml
