It's not a religion, but it may well be atheism because the majority of Asia (which includes China with a population of over 1 billion) follows atheism or an atheist religion (ie. Buddhism). And then you have to include people on other continents who are atheist or follow atheist religions. People who call themselves religious because their families are religious, but who do not believe in a deity themselves, are also atheist.

In terms of religion it would be Catholicism, commonly mistaken for Christianity, which it is not and then the Muslim or Islam faiths have always ran fairly close together.
