Should be Buddhism, Asia has the largest no. of buddhist per region. In China alone with a population of abt 1.3 billion, majority are buddhists, with the exception of Xinjiang which are predominantly muslim which makes up of 26 million. Taking out other religion, there could be at least 1 billion buddhist alone in China, excluding other parts of Asia like Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan etc.
