2. Islam: 1.8 billion
3. Hinduism: 950 million
4. Secular, Agnostic, Atheist: 850 million
5. Buddhism: 400 million
6. Chinese Traditional: 300 million
7. Primal-indigenous: 150 million
8. African Traditional: 95 million
9. Sikhism: 23 million
10. Judaism: 15 million
11. Baha’i: 6 million

14. Neo-Paganism: 1 million
15. Unitarian: 800 thousand

in the adventure that they are talking for themselves, what are they keeping? look in any respect the diverse religions there. that would not argue for something different then the very incontrovertible fact that many human beings want to have a religious employer they are allied with. Your numbers do not take into about those who perceive with a particular faith yet who're no longer conventional attendees at facilities, or who're even with they declare to be in call in easy words and for social motives in easy words, no longer religious ones. It also would not think about many those who opt for no longer to be said as atheist or agnostic with the aid of social hazards fascinated about some circumstances. even as exciting, those numbers are unnecessary in any style of dialogue with reference to the fact of deity.
