Does anyone actually have some kind of figure for how much of the population follows a religion?

The only way to get that information is by collecting census results. As those are not done every year, and people may choose not to answer what their religion is, if they even have one, then there is no way to tell.

No. The percentage of the muslim population in Britain is still significantly outweighed by that of the Christian and non-muslim population. Hindus, Buddhists and Jews all contribute significantly to the British population. It is, however, entirely possible that in 30 years Britain will become a "Christian-minority" country where the sum of all other religious groups is more than the number of Christians while they will maintain status as the largest minority group.

They aren't, they aren't even CLOSE to it.  They can't complete with the sheer numbers of Islamic converts and those in Christianity.  It's a bald faced lie that alot of religions tell to make themselves look good.  As a matter of fact they are losing ground to non-believers and pagan religions just like all the others.  Percentage-wise their growth is stagnant like all other religions counting those coming in and going out.  While the numbers going in are good, like most religions, those leaving are even greater.  \nhttp://www.listology.com/content_show.cf...\n\nTop 10 Fastest Growing Religions in the US by baker \nSikh 18,900.0 \nHindu 810.0 \nMuslim 537.5 \nBuddhist 290.0 \nBaha’i 117.4 \nEvangelical Christians 42.8 \nOrthodox 28.4 \nRoman Catholic 14.2 \nJews -16.4 \nAnglican -27.3

I would guess at least 5 billion. How could you get a number anyways. I know there is census, but there are just way to many people to count like that, especially in places that are remote. Now I am curious lol.

Catholicism (both Roman Catholic and Greek Catholic) and Protestantism are also represented, mostly in the areas inhabited by a population closer to Western influence.\n\nIn Dobrogea, the region lying on the shore of the Black Sea, there is a small Muslim minority (of Turkish and Tatar ethnicity), which is a remnant of the Ottoman rule and migrations from Crimea, respectively.

Depends on who you ask or where you look. Here are 2 different articles with different data.\n\n\n\nThere are more new Christians added to the world population than any other religion on earth every day. This data makes the entire discussion about "rates of growth" irrelevant. The fact is today, that Christianity is the fastest growing religion on this most critical basis. This may change, but today, in 2004 AD, Christians take the prize for being the fastest growing religion. \nOn none of the 6 continents are Muslims the fastest growing religion. \nThat Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world is pure myth at best and at worst a deliberate deception of solid statistical facts.\n\n\n[edit] Buddhism\nAverage annual growth of 16% / 31,600 for the period 1996 to 2001 (200,000→358,000 - Australian data) [1] \n\n[edit] Falun Gong\nno reliable data available - established in 1992, estimates for 1999 range from 2 million [2] to 100 million [3] \n\n[edit] Christianity\nThe U.S. Center for World Mission claimed a growth rate of 2.3% for the period 1970 to 1996, (slightly higher than the world population growth rate at the time). This increased the percentage Christians from 33.7% to 33.9%. \nChristianity is estimated to receive 2,500,000 converts a year.[1] \n\n[edit] Islam\nAverage annual growth of 5% / 10,228,750 claimed for the period of 1935 to 1983 (209,020,000→700,000,000) [4] but note that this value is unreliable as these rates are calculated from two separate sources, which may have used different counting rules. \nUnited Nations' survey showed that between 1989 and 1998, Europe's Muslim population grew by more than 100 percent. Today, about 13 million Muslims live in Western Europe: 3.9 million in Germany, 3.3 million in Britain, 7.5 million in France, and the rest in other countries. [5]. Global warming may accelerate Muslim migration to Europe. [6] \nOntario Consultants on Religious Tolerance have a claim of 2.9% per year \nIt is estimated to receive 865,000 converts a year.[2] \nIn 2006 countries with a Muslim majority have an average population growth rate of 1.8% per year (when weighted by percentage Muslim and population size)[7]. This compares with a world population growth rate of 1.12% per year. [8] \n\n[edit] Non-Religious\nAverage annual growth of 10% / 1,372,727 for the period 1990 to 2001 (14,300,000→29,400,000 - U.S. data) [9],[10] \n\n[edit] Wicca\nAverage annual growth of 143% / 11,454 for the period 1990 to 2001 (8,000→134,000 - U.S. data / similar for Canada & Australia) [9],[10]

Mostly there are Hindus. Muslims come next. Buddishts are next, and Christians are last. Look up each of these religions to understand what they believe.

Whenever you want to know demographics of religions, try www.adherents.com first. They give sources for their information so be sure to look at the footnotes to find out the year the information was gathered. They put number of Christians in the U.S. at 217,872,000 as of 2001.

Possibly but mostly by people of other religions.

This article is about 5 years old, but:\n\nThe atheist population is about 29.4 million, roughly 14.1% of the American community.

That answer would overload this database.\n\nThere is a site that lists many religions. See below:

The most religious by total number or per capita? The most religious per capita would be any from Texas to Virginia, or the Bible Belt. There's a church on nearly any back road you travel, small, but a church, unique in the South. It's hard to find someone that even uses a swear word!
