There are six billion slightly different religious perspectives in the world.
After that, it's quite impossible to say. Hinduism, for example, is best categorised as a _group_ of religious practices more than a single one.
You can get to about 98% of the world with about 15 or 20 religions, but once you get into tribal areas, unless you use 'category' words like 'animist' or 'Native American spirituality', then the situation becomes hopelessly complex.

There are thousands of "religions" but there is only one truth and that is a relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ, His only Son and our Savior.
John 14:6 says: Jesus answered, "I am the way, and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

There are as many religions as there are cultures, since both religion and culture are products of the human brain, and nothing else.
